Who are the most susceptible groups to pancreatic cancer

Everyone has the potential to be at risk of pancreatic cancer, but some people are at greater risk. These people are at high risk of pancreatic cancer and should pay more attention to prevention than ordinary people. The "these people" we are talking about are the following people:

1. Patients over 40 years old with nonspecific upper abdominal symptoms.

2. High-risk factors for pancreatic cancer include smoking, heavy drinking, and long-term exposure to harmful chemicals.

3. For those with a family history of pancreatic cancer, some people believe that genetic factors account for 5% to 10% of the incidence of pancreatic cancer.

4. Patients with chronic pancreatitis. It is currently believed that chronic pancreatitis is an important precancerous lesion in some patients, especially chronic familial pancreatitis and chronic calcific pancreatitis.

5. The incidence of pancreatic cancer in patients who have undergone distal subtotal gastrectomy for benign lesions, especially those who have been postoperative for more than 20 years, increases by 1.5 to 5 times.

6. Patients with sudden onset of diabetes, especially atypical diabetes, who are over 60 years old, have no family history, are not obese, and quickly develop insulin resistance. 40% of pancreatic cancer patients have diabetes at the time of diagnosis.

7. Internal papillary mucinous tumor is also a precancerous lesion.

8. The incidence of familial adenomatous polyposis combined with pancreatic cancer is higher than that of the normal population.
