Liver and Pancreatic cancers
Cancer that started in the cells of the pancreas is pancreatic cancer, whereas cancer that started in the liver is liver cancer. Even if the cancer spreads, professionals class it as its original type. For example, pancreatic cancer that spreads to the liver is still pancreatic cancer.
Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the tissues of the pancreas.
The pancreas is a gland about 6 inches long that is shaped like a thin pear lying on its side. The wider end of the pancreas is called the head, the middle section is called the body, and the narrow end is called the tail. The pancreas lies between the stomach and the spine.
