Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

Definition

Metastatic pancreatic cancer is a malignant condition in which cancer originating from the pancreas spreads to distant organs or tissues in the body. This advanced stage of pancreatic cancer often has a poor prognosis and is challenging to treat, as the cancer cells have migrated beyond the primary site.
