7 major groups of people are susceptible to pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is one of the common malignant tumors of the digestive tract, and seven major groups of people are susceptible to pancreatic cancer.

① People who are over 40 years old and have nonspecific upper abdominal discomfort.

② People with a family history of pancreatic cancer.

③Clinical data show that 40% of pancreatic cancer patients have diabetes when they are diagnosed; therefore, patients with sudden diabetes, especially those with atypical diabetes, who are over 60 years old, have no family history, are not obese, and quickly develop insulin resistance, are also a high-risk group for pancreatic cancer.

④ Patients with chronic pancreatitis. Chronic pancreatitis is an important precancerous lesion in some pancreatic cancer patients, among which chronic familial pancreatitis and chronic calcific pancreatitis are typical.

⑤People with familial adenomatous polyposis.

⑥ People who have undergone distal subtotal gastrectomy for benign lesions, especially those who have been undergoing surgery for more than 20 years.

⑦ People who smoke for a long time, drink heavily, and are exposed to harmful chemicals for a long time.

The above-mentioned high-risk groups should undergo regular physical examinations for the early detection and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Only timely intervention and treatment can achieve better treatment results.
