There are two types of pancreatic cancer tumors, exocrine and endocrine (neuroendocrine). &#8220;This is based <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/pancan.org\/facing-pancreatic-cancer\/about-pancreatic-cancer\/what-is-pancreatic-cancer\/\" target=\"_blank\">on the type<\/a> of cell they start in,&#8221; says the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN). &#8220;Knowing the type of tumor is important because each type acts differently and responds to different treatments.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to PanCAN, over 90 percent of pancreatic cancers are exocrine; under ten percent are endocrine, also known as neuroendocrine or islet cell tumors, which &#8220;often grow slower than exocrine tumors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Pancreatic cancer&#8217;s exact causes are not well understood,&#8221; says PanCAN, noting that some of <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/pancreatic-cancer\/causes-risks-prevention\/risk-factors.html\" target=\"_blank\">the risk factors<\/a> include family history, smoking, obesity, and a diet high in red meats. &#8220;This does not mean that everyone who has these risk factors will get pancreatic cancer, or that everyone who gets pancreatic cancer has one or more of these,&#8221; cautions PanCAN.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<strong>RELATED:<br \/>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/newsletters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">For more up-to-date information, sign up for our<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tdaily newsletter<\/a>.<\/strong>\n\t<\/p>\n<figure id=\"401189\" class=\"alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-401189\" src=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"Doctor examining woman&#039;s skin.\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all 1254w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952-1.jpg, 333&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 500w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952-2.jpg, 512&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952-3.jpg, 683&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 1024w\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-401189\" src=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all\" alt=\"Doctor examining woman&#039;s skin.\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestlifeonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all 1254w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952-1.jpg, 333&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 500w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952-2.jpg, 512&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 768w, https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/iStock-674007952-3.jpg, 683&#038;quality=82&#038;strip=all 1024w\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Zinkevych\/iStock<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The potential signs of pancreatic cancer are subtle, varied, and often <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/15806-pancreatic-cancer\" target=\"_blank\">do not even occur<\/a> until the disease has progressed, reports the Cleveland Clinic.
