Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer Treatment in India
Beyond Conventional Treatment. Grounded in Evidence
Every year, many people in India receive a pancreatic cancer diagnosis. And most face that news without knowing where to turn next.
Your pancreas regulates blood sugar, aids digestion, and produces enzymes your body cannot function without. When abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in this tissue, they disrupt this balance. That is why recognising early pancreatic cancer symptoms and seeking timely care can change outcomes.
Dr Tarang Krishna combines clinical oncology with Cancer Healer Therapy, an integrative approach that supports your body through treatment by working with it, not against it.
What Is Pancreatic Cancer?
The pancreas produces digestive enzymes and hormones like insulin to regulate blood sugar. When abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the tissue of the pancreas, they form a tumour. This is what is called 'pancreatic cancer'. As the disease progresses, it can affect how your body digests food, controls glucose levels, and maintains overall metabolic balance.
What are the Types of Pancreatic Cancer?
Originates in the cells lining the pancreatic ducts that carry digestive enzymes.
Develop in the hormone-producing cells of the pancreas.
Begins in the enzyme-producing acinar cells at the base of the pancreatic ducts.
Originates as fluid-filled cysts in the pancreatic tissue, predominantly in women.
Grows within the pancreatic ducts and produces excess mucin.
What are the causes & risk factors of Pancreatic Cancer?
Pancreatic cancer causes are not always obvious. Many people with no apparent risk factors still develop it. Awareness is what sets early detection apart.
Biological & Genetic
Family history of pancreatic cancer or inherited gene mutations such as BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2
Hereditary pancreatitis is a rare genetic condition that causes repeated pancreatic inflammation over time
Lynch syndrome, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, or other inherited conditions associated with elevated cancer risk
Chronic pancreatitis left unmanaged
Type 2 diabetes of long duration, particularly when it develops suddenly in older adults without an obvious cause
Prior cancer treatment involving radiation to the abdominal or pelvic region
Lifestyle & Environmental
Long-term smoking
Obesity and a diet consistently high in processed meats, red meat, and refined sugars
Heavy and prolonged alcohol consumption
Low physical activity combined with poor metabolic health
Prolonged occupational exposure to industrial chemicals, including pesticides, benzene, and petrochemicals
