The pancreas

The pancreas is a gland located deep in the abdomen, producing enzymes that pass into the gut to digest food. In addition, the pancreas produces several important hormones, which regulate the blood sugar level. The diseases of the pancreas, either inflammatory or neoplastic, may be very challenging to diagnose and to treat, and require the input of experienced physicians across multiple specialties. In this section, you will find more detailed information about inflammatory diseases of the pancreas, pancreatic neoplasms, and surgical procedures on the pancreas.
