However, certain risk factors increase the likelihood of its development: • Genetic factors: Family history of pancreatic cancer or certain genetic mutations (e.g., BRCA1, BRCA2, p16, Lynch syndrome) can increase the risk. • Smoking: Tobacco use is one of the major preventable causes. • Chronic Pancreatitis: Long-term inflammation of the pancreas, especially due to alcohol use, can increase the risk. • Diabetes: Long-standing type 2 diabetes has been associated with a higher risk. • Obesity and poor diet: High-fat diets and obesity are linked to an increased incidence of pancreatic cancer. #pancreas #cancer #surgeryreview Professor Armen Astvatsatryan, MD, PhD, ScD, Fellow of European Society of Cardiology.
