Is pancreatic nodule cancer?

Pancreatic nodules are not necessarily cancer.

First, pancreatic nodules may be benign lesions, such as pancreatic cysts, pancreatic pseudocysts, etc. These are usually caused by inflammation, infection, or other non-malignant factors and generally do not pose a serious threat to life, but may require regular observation or appropriate treatment.

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor, which is difficult to

diagnose early and has a relatively poor prognosis. However, pancreatic nodules may also be malignant, that is, pancreatic cancer.

Not all pancreatic nodules are pancreatic cancer, but also need to combine a variety of examination methods, such as imaging examination, blood marker detection, pathological biopsy, etc. to comprehensively determine the nature of nodules. Therefore, when pancreatic nodules are found, do not panic, should seek medical attention in time, cooperate with doctors for detailed examination and evaluation, so as to confirm the diagnosis and take appropriate treatment measures.
