Unresectable or Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer (LAPC) is an advanced stage where the tumor cannot be completely removed through surgery or has spread to other body parts. Patients with LAPC often experience significant symptom burdens related to their primary malignancy. These symptoms may include pain, pancreatic insufficiency (resulting in difficulty digesting food), biliary obstruction (causing jaundice and related symptoms), and early satiety or gastric outlet obstruction (leading to feeling full quickly or difficulty eating).
