Risk Factors for Pancreatic Cancer, Why is the Incidence Increasing?
Speaker: Mike Cusnir, MD | Mount Sinai Medical Center
Hepatopancreaticobiliary Malignancy – Part I
Presented at SFGI - South Florida GI Cancer Symposium
Dr. Cusnir discusses focuses on the rising incidence of pancreatic cancer, highlighting a 300% increase since 1950 and 51,000 cases expected this year. Key risk factors include obesity, new-onset diabetes, chronic pancreatitis, and smoking. Greater emphasis is needed on better screening, especially in high-risk populations, and dietary changes to reduce risk, as diet-related cancers now surpass smoking-related cancers.
