Pancreatic cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death in the UK. This disease often remains undiagnosed until it is at a late stage, resulting in the majority of tumours being unsuitable for surgical resection. When a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is confirmed, early input from the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) is vital. Due to the poor prognosis, the screening and treatment of pancreatic cancer remains a considerable challenge for medicine in the 21st century.
胰腺癌是英国癌症死亡的第五大常见原因。这种疾病在晚期之前通常难以诊断，这导致大多数肿瘤都不适合手术切除。当胰腺癌确诊后，多学科团队（MDT）的早期介入至关重要。由于预后较差，胰腺癌的筛查和治疗仍是21世纪医学面临的一项重大挑战。
