The spread of pancreatic cancer happens silently, most always with out any symptoms, until it has reached an inoperable stage. Once it reaches this stage, the survival rate decreases dramatically. At the inoperable stage, treatments, not cures are enacted. The Pathophysiology Of Pancreatic Cancer indicates that over three fourths of pancreatic carcinomas occur in the neck of the pancreas. The typical metastasization of pancreatic cancer occurs in the regional lymph nodes at first, then the liver and possibly the lungs. It can also occur in the stomach, colon or any suface present in the abdominal cavity. It can also spread to the skin, and even the bone, but this is not very common. It can spread to the brain, but it is very unlikely.
