In general, people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within a year.

So the pancreas produces little or no insulin.

导致胰腺产的胰岛素极少或无法产胰岛素。

Currently, the majority of patients will die from pancreatic cancer.

目前，大部份的胰腺癌病患会面临死亡。

No. It's probably just my pancreatitis kicking up again.

不，也许是我的胰腺炎。

Ooh. I had a kick-ass distal pancreatectomy that got turfed.

噢 我有一个巨牛逼的胰腺远端切除术就这么泡汤。

The location of the pancreas makes the cancer difficult to detect.

胰腺的位置使癌症很难被发现。

More than seven out of 10 people with pancreatic cancer die within a year of being diagnosed.

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows glucose to enter into our body's cells.

胰岛素是一种由胰腺产的激素，它允许葡萄糖进入我们的身体细胞。

A decrease in glucose stimulates alpha cells in the pancreas to release insulin's nemesis, the hormone glucagon.

葡萄糖的减少刺激胰腺中的α细胞释放胰岛素的克星——荷尔蒙胰高血糖素。

Both of these hormones are produced by clusters of cells in the pancreas called islets of Langerhans.

这可能是因为胰腺不能产足够的胰岛素，或者胰岛素不能正常工作。

Eventually the pancreas gets damaged, because backed-up digestive enzymes degrade the cells lining the pancreatic ducts, causing local inflammation.

最终胰腺受损，因为储备的消化酶降解胰腺导管内的细胞，导致局限性炎症。
