Research has shown that smokers of the dangers of smoking and its proportional to the degree. To quit smoking 10 to 15 people, the risk of life-long non-smokers with similar. Suction cigar, cigarette, pipe and chewing tobacco are in danger of respect no difference.
The geographical distribution of pancreatic cancer research, such as studies on migrants, fully shows that environmental factors, such as diet and carcinogenic effects. Animal experiments proved with pancreatic cancer development. Other cards such as meat and high fever diet, especially high-carbohydrate, dairy products and marine food is also relevant factors. The structure of the high-fiber diet, fruit and fresh vegetables fewer people suffering from pancreatic cancer. Although caffeine drink alcoholic beverages is growing is considered a risk factor, but there are many studies do not support this point of view.
Similarly, many studies do not support diabetes and the relationship between pancreatic cancer, although some forward-looking studies have shown that people suffering from diabetes the risk of pancreatic cancer than others or four times higher. Pancreatic cancer has been found in recent years confirm there are several months before onset diabetes, found that doctors may advise against non-diabetic middle-aged family history of early pancreatic cancer patients to consider the possibility.
And pancreatic cancer is related to occupational chemicals and metal contacts work, researchers think that with β - naphthylamine and benzene-related work in the factories of men suffering from pancreatic cancer have a high risk.
Pancreatic cancer genetic factors have not been clearly confirmed, but there are also families incidence report. Recent studies that have close relatives in the malignant pancreatic tumor prevalence higher risk.
Under 40 years of age were suffering from pancreatic cancer rarely, the average age was 63 years old sick, men slightly higher than women. Pancreatic cancer mortality and incidence rates almost unanimously, the five-year survival rate is very low, and almost all have undergone surgery. Not for treatment of pancreatic cancer patient’s survival period of about four months, receiving bypass surgery for patients survival time of about seven months, after surgery patients generally survive 16 months. According to the latest statistics, 20 percent of patients survive a period of 1 year, 3% of the patients survival period is five years.
Using rats (Diazo acetyl serine), the Syrian hamster (N-nitroso bis [2 - oxygen propane] amine or amine BOP), and guinea pigs (methyl-nitrosourea) reproduction of rodents Tooth animal pancreatic cancer model has been successful. Nitroso complexes Rodent is the most effective carcinogens. Foods containing large number of saturated fat can promote formation of cancer in rats. Cholecystokinin (CCK) or its analogues bombesin peptide cholecystokinin (cerulein) can stimulate secretion in vitro and in vivo experimental animal pancreatic growth. Speculate may be precisely because of the release of CCK, diet rich in soy powder and trypsin inhibitor can be formed to cancer in rats. CCK promote pancreatic juice and intestinal peptide together can stimulate the carcinogenic substances led to pancreatic cancer. Recent experiments will be an artificial pancreas CCK receptor antagonist in the formation of new biological before implantation in rats that can stop Diazo acetyl serine role. This, however, the use of antagonists in clinical needs further study. Lovastatin (Lovastatin) - A cholesterol-lowering drugs, in vitro experiments can inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer.
