The pancreas is an organ in the body that helps with digestion and controls sugar levels by making insulin. Sometimes, a growth can start inside the small tubes (ducts) of the pancreas. This growth is called an intraductal papillary neoplasm.
In the beginning, it may not be cancer, but over time, some of these growths can change and become a serious type of pancreatic cancer called invasive carcinoma.
Many sufferers of Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm. We have recently created an Intraductal Papillary Neoplasm resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
