As previously mentioned, Mr. J.C. is currently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Consisting of epithelial tissue, the pancreas is enveloped by simple, cuboidal, and stratified epithelium. The affected regions of the pancreas dictate epithelial tissue type alterations (Mizrahi et al., 2020). In conclusion, Mr. J.C. is suffering from an advanced pancreatic malignant tumor, which poses challenges in its management. Understanding cancer staging is crucial for care professionals to enhance treatment options.
