Overview

Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy arising from the exocrine or, less commonly, endocrine cells of the pancreas, with ductal adenocarcinoma being the predominant and most aggressive form. It is notable for late presentation, early local and metastatic spread, and resistance to therapy, which together account for its poor prognosis. Symptoms—jaundice, abdominal and back pain, nausea, weight loss, and fatigue—often appear only after the disease is advanced, and clinical presentations can include massive hematemesis from tumour invasion. Diagnosis and prognostication rely on imaging, histopathology, and serum markers; research has compared the predictive value of CEA and bilirubin with CA 19-9 at initial presentation, particularly in non-tertiary settings. Management spans surgery, chemotherapy, and supportive care, and the disease frequently drives cancer cachexia, for which protein- and energy-dense immunonutrition is studied. Related oncology research addresses inflammatory and prognostic markers such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, oxidative telomere attrition and nutritional antioxidants, complementary and alternative cancer treatments, mechanisms of metastasis, drug design, and stem-cell approaches. Methods include clinical cohorts, case reports, meta-analysis, and laboratory investigation. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on pancreatic and gastrointestinal malignancy, including diagnostic markers, presentation, and supportive nutritional care.
