Pancreatic cancer rate rising fastest in younger women, with possible risk factors identified
Scientists find cases of the disease now have a distinct gender gap and mortality rates for women are ‘not improving’
Pancreatic cancer rates are rising fastest in young women and experts aren’t sure why
Pancreatic cancer is the 10th most common cancer, but it’s the third most deadly cancer.
Pancreatic cancer rates are rising among Americans, with the sharpest increases in younger women, a new study finds.
The new nationwide analysis of nearly two decades of data revealed that rates in women below 55 rose 2.4% more than in their male counterparts. Young Black women, in particular, saw their rates increase 2.23% more than those in Black men the same age, researchers reported in Gastroenterology.
Pancreatic cancer rates are rising fastest in younger women, new research has shown, amid concern that unhealthy lifestyles may be to blame.
Drinking, smoking and eating too much junk food could be behind the phenomenon, according to scientists.
