Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death in cases. The study was conducted to determine the epidemiologic and pathologic of pancreatic cancer METHODS: A case series study was conducted retrospectively at Beheshti Hospital in Hamadan, Iran. A total of 409 cases that had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer from 2008 to 2018 were reviewed. The variables included age, gender, occupation, pathological type, location involved, early symptoms, metastasis status, prognosis, and treatments were extracted from the files and recorded in checklist. Data were analyzed by using SPSS/20 software. Pancreatic cancer has been increasing trend in terms of time (2008-2018). Pancreatic cancer was most common age in the sixth decade of life and is more common in men than women. There was a significant relationship between aging and the incidence of pancreatic cancers (P < 0.05). Most of the subjects were urban (50.4%). The frequencies of smoking, alcohol, and drugs were 34.5, 15.6, and 14.0%, respectively. Also, there was no statistically significant relationship between smoking, alcohol, and drugs and pancreatic cancer (P > 0.05). The frequency of pancreatic cancers included adenocarcinomas (66.7%), unknown (25.2%), mucinous adenocarcinomas (4.2%), and carcinoma (3.9%), respectively. Pancreatic cancer has been increasing trend in terms of time. Pancreatic cancer was most common age in the sixth decade of life and is more common in men than women. The most common type of pancreatic cancer was adenocarcinoma. Diagnosis usually occurs at higher stages. More preventive considerations were found to be beneficial among this population.
Highlights
Pancreatic cancer is the one of leading causes of cancer mortality in developed countries and one of the most lethal malignant neoplasms across the world
P value < 0.05 was regarded as significant. In this case-series study, 409 patients who referred to Beheshti Hospital in Hamadan from 2008 to 2018 following the diagnosis of pancreatic cancers were included in the study
Based on the results of Chi-square test, the highest number of subjects was in the age group between 60–69 year, and lowest frequency was in the age group of ≥ 49 year
Summary
Pancreatic cancer is the one of leading causes of cancer mortality in developed countries and one of the most lethal malignant neoplasms across the world. Pancreatic cancer is the 12th most common malignancy and the 7th leading cause of cancer mortality [2]. According to GLOBOCAN database, in 2018, Due to weak prognosis of pancreatic cancer, from the number of patients (n = 459,000), and the number (n = 432,000) deaths occurred. Pancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death in cases. According to Human Development Index (HDI), pancreatic cancer is 3- 4 times more in higher HDI countries, and most prevalent in Europe, North America, and Australia/New Zealand [2]. The mortality rate had a raising pattern by 25.4% to 39.9% worldwide from 2007 to 2017 deaths (7062 million versus 9.56 million). The years of lost life (YLLs) in low SDI (socio demographic index) in the period between 1998 and 2017 increased from 38.6 to 55.9 per 100,000 [4]
