Pancreatic cancer, artwork C016 / 8735
Pancreatic cancer. Artwork of part of the digestive system, showing a carcinoma (white, lower right) of the head of the pancreas (light brown). Also shown are the gall bladder (green) and the duodenum (pink), the first part of the small intestine. Arteries (red) and the common bile duct and pancreatic duct are also shown. The head of the pancreas, adjacent to the duodenum, is the most common site of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer often causes no symptoms until it is well established and untreatable

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pancreatic cancer, artwork C016 / 8735" offers a detailed illustration of the devastating disease that affects the pancreas. The image showcases a carcinoma, depicted as white in color and located in the lower right area of the pancreas's head. Surrounding this malignant growth are other vital components of the digestive system, including the gall bladder represented by green hues and the duodenum portrayed in pink shades. The artwork also highlights various arteries colored red, along with both the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. It is worth noting that pancreatic cancer predominantly manifests in the head region of this crucial organ situated adjacent to the duodenum. This particular type of cancer often remains asymptomatic until it reaches an advanced stage where treatment options become limited or ineffective. With its focus on disease pathology within our abdomen, this medical illustration sheds light on an unhealthy condition that can have severe consequences for individuals affected by it. By showcasing intricate details such as lesions and inflammation within our alimentary canal, gastroenterologists and oncologists can gain valuable insights into diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer. Overall, John Bavosi's remarkable artwork provides a visual representation of this complex ailment while emphasizing its impact on our digestive system. Through scientific imagery like this one from Science Photo Library, researchers continue their efforts to better understand pancreatic cancer and develop more effective treatments for those afflicted by it.
