Abstract:
What's new? Do pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis share common genetic risk factors? Probably not, according to new results. Because chronic pancreatitis is a risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, these authors wondered whether the same genetic loci paved the way for both conditions. Using genotypes from almost 3,000 cancer patients, they investigated five common polymorphisms associated with chronic pancreatitis risk. They found that none of them strongly predicted pancreatic cancer.
