What do you know about pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, a long, flat gland that lies horizontally behind your stomach. The pancreas produces enzymes for digestion and hormones that regulate the way your body processes sugar. About 275,000 hospital stays for acute pancreatitis occur in the U.S. each year, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease.

Unexplained Weight Loss Is Linked to Cancer
People who lose a significant amount of weight without dieting, exercise, or other lifestyle changes may also be at higher risk of some cancers, according to researchers who say a sudden drop may be an early indicator of the disease.
Those who spontaneously shed more than 10% of their body weight developed cancer at a rate of about 1,362 per 100,000 over a 12-month period, according to a study released Tuesday by the Journal of the American Medical Association, while the rate of diagnosis among people who hadn’t recently lost weight without explanation was 869 per 100,000.

PET/CT scans show value in patients with rare type of pancreatitis
F-18 FDG-PET/CT scans may help predict relapses in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis, according to a study published January 17 in BMC Gastroenterology.
In an analysis of F-18 FDG-PET/CT scans in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) prior to treatment, specific imaging findings were higher in a group that subsequently relapsed than in those who did not relapse, noted first authors Shengxin Chen and Guanyun Wang, of Chinese PLA General Hospital in Beijing, and colleagues.

“I think we’re all grappling with what the environmental factor that is changing the cancer incidence and mortality among the young," said ACS chief scientific officer William Dahut, MD, at a press conference.
