Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer, also called exocrine cancer, forms in the tissue of the pancreas, an organ in the digestive system located in the abdomen. Endocrine cells in the pancreas create enzymes used to digest fats and proteins, and exocrine glands create insulin and hormones to help balance the amount of sugar in the blood.
Skin Cancer – Melanoma
Skin cancer or melanoma forms in the melanocytes, cells found in the skin that produce melanin that tans the skin. Overexposure to the sun can cause melanocytes to cluster forming pink, tan, or brown moles. If moles begin to change shape, color or size they may be cancerous.
Wounds
A wound is an injury of the skin that can be open, closed or torn. Wounds can occur from an incision, laceration, abrasion, contusion or puncture. Chronic, non-healing wounds are wounds that do not heal properly or take a long time heal.
