Where does pancreas cancer spread to?

My father's colleague has pancreatic cancer, and it seems like a very aggressive type. We're trying to gather information for them. Where does pancreas cancer typically spread to in the body?

It typically spreads to the liver, peritoneum (lining of the abdominal cavity), and lymph nodes first. Later, it can hit the lungs and bones. It's one of the tougher ones, so really crucial to see specialists.

Pancreatic cancer often spreads to the liver first, then possibly to the lungs and bones. It's a difficult diagnosis, so early detection is truly important.

Pancreatic cancer can spread quickly. In my experience with other health complications, ignoring symptoms leads to bigger problems. It commonly spreads to the liver, peritoneum, and lymph nodes. Anyone with concerns should see a doctor immediately, don't delay, it's very important.

From what I've heard, it usually spreads to the liver and then maybe lungs or bones. It's a pretty aggressive cancer. If you're worried about someone, pls make sure they see a specialist ASAP.

Oh man, pancreas cancer, that sounds rough. I read that it often goes to the liver first, maybe because they're kinda neighbors in the body. And then lungs. Makes me want to eat healthier, less oily stuff, you know? But for real, please see a doc.
