Amount of alcohol consumed in each occasion seems to be a less important risk factor

84.7 percent of patients in clinical trials were White and 54.8 percent were men; underrepresentation seen in trials of nearly all phases

Phase 2 randomized trial revealed similar overall survival for two active regimens compared with adjuvant therapy

At the state level, opioid death rate at four years prior predicted the initial incidence of pancreatic cancer
