How can doctors not know what kind of cancer a person has?
Sometimes there is too much or too little things that doctors know...such as symptoms of cancer. Someone might have several symptoms, but not all can match up to be consistently diagnosed to a certain type of cancer. Or, with too much information that may not be of enough importance, doctors may not be able to clearly and quickly assess the cancer type due to the jumble of mismatched information that they have. it may have to do with the situation itself...

Why do awareness campaigns exist?
Some issues are very serious, but not many people know about it (they aren't aware) so there are campaigns that raise awareness of such issues. For example, everyone knows cancer is very serious, and of that, breast cancer may be the one that gets most publicity and effort. However, pancreatic cancer is even more serious, and has a very low survival rate but not many people know about it, so not as much effort is geared towards it. Therefore there are some awareness campaigns that tell people more about pancreatic cancer, how serious it is and the symptoms.

How do you get pancreatic cancer?
Pancreatic CancerMost pancreatic tumors originate in the duct cells or in the cells that produce digestive enzymes (acinar cells). These tumors account for nearly 95 percent of pancreatic cancers. When these cells are healthy, they grow and divide in an orderly way. When DNA is damaged in these cells by certain things, cells may begin to grow out of control and eventually form a tumor. What damages DNA in the majority of cases of pancreatic cancer is unknown, but a small percentage of people develop the disease as a result of a genetic predisposition. These people who have a close relative, such as a parent or sibling, with pancreatic cancer have a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer themselves. Development of other genetic diseases have been associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer, including familial adenomatous polyposis, nonpolyposis colon cancer, familial breast cancer associated with the BRCA2 gene, and hereditary pancreatitis. Only about 10 percent of pancreatic cancers result from an inherited tendency. A greater number are caused by environmental or lifestyle factors, such as smoking, diet and chemical exposure. Smokers are two to three times more likely to develop pancreatic cancer than nonsmokers are. This is probably the greatest known risk factor for pancreatic cancer, with smoking associated with almost one in three cases of pancreatic cancer. A diet high in animal fat and low in fruits and vegetables may increase your risk of pancreatic cancer as well.People who work with petroleum compounds, including gasoline and other chemicals, have a higher incidence of pancreatic cancer than people not exposed to these chemicals on a regular basis. Resent research has also shown that chronic, advanced gum disease seem to be associated with development of pancreatic cancer, but by some unknown mechanism.
