Pancreatic lesions
The pancreas consists of two parts – exocrine and endocrine. The first is involved in the digestive processes, and the second is responsible for the production of hormones that take part in the metabolism. When an organ fails, a failure occurs in all body systems. A person may not even suspect the presence of pathology. The disease develops slowly and does not manifest itself in the initial stage. Doctors often diagnose adenocarcinoma, which is a malignant tumor.
