A gland behind the stomach (8)

I believe the answer is:

pancreas

(Other definitions for pancreas that I've seen before include "Gland near stomach, sends insulin into blood" , "Gland secreting digestive enzymes" , "Gland near stomach discharging insulin" , "Sweetbread" , "insulin producer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
