Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thirty cadaver pancreas specimens were dissected and carefully measured. The weights were recorded and averaged 91.8 g (range: 40.9 to 182 g).
Detailed explanation-2: -From age 20-60 years, pancreas volume reaches a plateau (72.4 +/-25.8 cm(3) total; 44.5 +/-16.5 cm(3) parenchyma) and then declines thereafter. In adults, total ( approximately 32%), parenchymal ( approximately 13%), and fat ( approximately 68%) volumes increase with obesity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is often preceded by clinically significant weight loss, even at its early stages and up to one year ahead, researchers have found.
