I always wondered what is the trigger to develop pancreatic cancer. I am guessing alcohol & smoking as contributing factors. My family elders did neither of those, and no one got cancer. Both grand fathers lived into late 90’s, both died in sleep of old age. Father ate too many sweets made with Crisco type stuff and died of coronary disease in his 70’s. I am now 86 and live very healthy lifestyle. Hoping to make it to 100 without being in a wheelchair.
Not sure. Smoking, alcohol, genetic predispositions, all factor in. Things that can cause chronic inflammation in the pancreas.
