What Cells, Tissues, Organs And Organ Systems Are Affected By Pancreatic Cancer?

  1. Denisedds - What you have so far does not correlate with your question.
    The histology determines what cells it arose in. Is that what you mean?
    It can affect anywhere in the body that is what cancer does.

  2. ? - Cancer can spread anywhere in the body. Pancreatic cancer is divided into four stages:

    Small and localised (stage one).
    Spread into surrounding structures (stages two or three).
    Spread into other parts of the body (stage four).

    If the cancer has spread to distant parts of the body this is known as secondary cancer (or metastatic cancer).
