It affects males more often than females and the patients are usually over 50 years of age. Microscopically it is characterized by the presence of glandular (ductal) differentiation and desmoplastic stroma formation. Signs and symptoms include pain, loss of weight, and jaundice. It grows rapidly and is usually detected after it has metastasized to other anatomic sites. The prognosis is usually poor. **Genetic basis** No **Non-human condition** No **Rare disease** No **Listing at source** Listed **Condition name** Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma **Therapeutic area** Oncology ### Alternative names (9) -
