Pancreatic cancer can be categorized into two main types: endocrine and exocrine.

Endocrine cancers are less common and are linked to cells that produce hormones like insulin. The most frequently occurring form of pancreatic cancer is adenocarcinoma, typically found in the head of the pancreas.

In contrast, endocrine tumors are typically located in the body or tail of the pancreas and are often referred to as cystic neoplasms or neuroendocrine tumors.

The treatment for both types of cancer varies depending on the location and the stage of the disease.
