Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a cancer of fires. Every year in America, 42,470 people die due to this disease. This cancer is also called quiet death (silent killer), because at the beginning it is difficult to identify the cancer based on the symptoms and later symptoms are different in each individual. Generally, the symptoms of this cancer in the upper part of the abdomen are painful, the appetite seems less, there is a problem of rapid weight loss, jaundice, bleeding in the nose, vomiting.

In older age (above 60), men, smoking, eating vegetables and lack of fruit, obesity, diabetes, heredity are also sometimes caused by pancreatic cancer. Most patients suffering from pancreatic cancer have severe pain, loss of weight and diseases like jaundice. Diarrhea, anorexia, jaundice is the main reason for weight loss.

The American Cancer Society has not made any guidelines for this, although smoking is considered to be responsible for this cancer by 20 to 30 percent. A study in September 2006 said that consuming vitamin D decreases the chance of this cancer.

Treatment Treatment of pancreatic cancer depends on what the condition of cancer is. Patient is treated or given radiotherapy or chemotherapy. According to the American Cancer Society, the treatment of this cancer completely is not possible until now. The cancer society says that 20 to 30 percent of pancreatic cancer causes more smoking. It is worth mentioning that this cancer is more in men than women.


Founded in 1999, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) is dedicated to fighting the world’s toughest cancer. In our urgent mission to save lives, we attack pancreatic cancer on all fronts: research, clinical initiatives, patient services and advocacy.

Fire can help cancer patients live longer life.

A natural substance found in medicinal cannabis can help patients suffering from fires of pancreatic cancer for long life, who are being treated through chemotherapy. This is revealed in a study conducted on rats. Medicinal cannabis is the extract of cannabis plant, which is used to relieve the symptoms of certain diseases.

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London found that the rates of living with chemotherapy of pancreatic cancer, as well as treatment of cannabinoid canabidiol (CBD), increased their lives three times more than those rats, which can be treated only through chemotherapy was done. Researchers say that pancreatic cancer is very fatal and the rate of survival of the victim is very low.

Researchers tested the effect of cannabinoid CBD on Gemstitabine used in chemotherapy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer in rats and found excellent results. This study has been published in Oncogen Magazine.
