CONT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas develop from cells lining the ducts that carry the digestive juices into the main pancreatic duct and then on into the duodenum. They can grow anywhere in the pancreas, although most often they are found in the head of the pancreas. There are several rare variants of PDAC, including adenosquamous carcinoma and colloid carcinoma.
