我们治疗的胰腺癌

Pancreatic cancer begins in the pancreas, an abdominal organ that is part of the digestive system. 胰腺癌主要有两种类型:

外分泌胰腺肿瘤: Starts within the exocrine cells, which are in the ducts and exocrine glands of the pancreas. Exocrine cells help break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and acids. 外分泌肿瘤的类型包括:

腺癌: 最常见的胰腺癌. 它占95%的病例. 腺癌通常起源于外分泌管.

胶质癌: 一种罕见的胰腺癌. Colloid carcinoma begins as a benign cyst called an intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN).

鳞状细胞癌: A rare 胰腺癌 made up of squamous cells that originate in the pancreatic ducts. 大多数病例在传播后才被发现.

胰腺神经内分泌肿瘤: 起源于胰腺的内分泌腺细胞, which release hormones into the bloodstream to regulate blood sugar. 这些肿瘤可能是良性的，也可能是癌性的. They include:

Gastrinoma: A malignant tumor located in the pancreas or duodenum, which is part of the small intestine.

Glucagonoma: 一种导致血糖水平升高的胰腺肿瘤. A common symptom of this tumor is a skin rash that appears when the body makes too much of the hormone glucagon. 这些肿瘤中约80%是恶性的.  

Insulinoma: A rare, genetic pancreatic tumor that secretes insulin, the hormone that lowers blood glucose levels. 几乎所有的胰岛素瘤都是良性的(不是癌性的)。.
