Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor
Pancreatic cancer can develop from two kinds of cells in the pancreas: exocrine cells and endocrine cells. The exocrine type is more common and is usually found at an advanced stage. The endocrine type, called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, is less common but has a better prognosis.
