The pancreas is a spongy, tube-shaped organ about 6 inches long. It stretches across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach. The pancreas has two main roles. It produces hormones, like insulin, which controls the balance of glucose between the blood and the rest of the body, and it also produces digestive enzymes which help to break down foods in molecular form the body can utilize. The pancreas makes the hormone insulin, which helps to control blood sugar levels.
Pancreatic juices contain enzymes that only become activated once they reach the duodenum. The enzymes secreted by the exocrine tissue in the pancreas help break down carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and acids in the duodenum. These enzymes travel down the pancreatic duct into the bile duct in an inactive form. To keep your pancreas healthy, your digestive enzymes must not be activated until they reach the duodenum.
The known risk factors for cancer of the pancreas are: smoking, partial gastrectomy (removal of part of the stomach), excessive fat in the diet, and a family history of this type of cancer.
