Metastasis can also come to the pancreas,

0:04

and most common primaries are RCC,

0:07

breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanoma.

0:10

In addition to that, colon can

0:11

also metastasize to the pancreas.

0:13

RCC is the most common metastasis,

0:15

which we can see in real practice,

0:18

and mostly the metastasis behave in the

0:20

same manner they behave in the primary.

0:22

So we have to be very cautious while evaluating

0:24

these lesions because the prognosis is better

0:26

for metastasis compared to carcinoma.

0:29

If we accidentally call metastasis adenocarcinoma,

0:32

that will lead to lots of complications

0:34

in the patient because adenocarcinoma has

0:36

a worse prognosis, and the patient already has

0:37

a known cancer previously been operated.
