Pancreatic Cancer Pancreatic Cancer The pancreas is a large, elongated gland behind the stomach, which plays a key role in digestion. Pancreatic cancer has been know as a "silent" disease, because it usually does not cause symptoms early on. The cancer may grow for sometime before it causes pressure in the abdomen, or pain and other problems. Pancreatic cancer is hard to find early.

Sometime, the cancer cannot be completely removed. But to relieve such symptoms the surgeon creates a by pass around the blockage.
