Pancreatic cancer has earned its reputation as a “silent killer” for good reason. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore why this cancer often remains hidden until late stages, and why it accounts for a disproportionate share of cancer deaths despite being relatively rare.

We break down the dual role of the pancreas in digestion and blood sugar regulation, and how cancer disrupts these vital systems. You’ll learn the subtle warning signs—like unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or sudden-onset diabetes without risk factors—that may point to early disease.

We also dive into the diagnostic tools doctors use today, from advanced imaging and blood biomarkers to biopsies and molecular profiling. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, alongside promising new therapies that target genetic mutations and metabolic vulnerabilities. We even discuss how ketogenic dietary strategies are being studied as potential adjuncts to standard care.

If you or someone you love is concerned about pancreatic cancer, this episode delivers the insights you need to understand risks, recognize warning signs, and learn what modern science is uncovering about this elusive disease.
