What makes pancreatic cancer so deadly in comparison to other cancers?
In: 291
I haven’t seen this otherwise in the comments: beyond being caught late, it is really hard to treat with chemotherapy (a trait it shares with liver cancer).
The pancreas makes a bunch of things to dump into your blood and your small intestine. The cells of the pancreas are specialized for pumping chemicals out. Thus if chemo comes along….they mostly pump it out too. (The liver is similar, plus it also breaks down foreign substances)
