摘要
Pancreatic cancer(PC)is a devastating malignancy with an extremely high mortality rate and poses significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide.The prevalence of PC risk factors spiked over the years,leading to a global increase in PC incidence rates.The contribution of different risk factors,however,varied from region to region due to genetic predisposition,environmental,social,and political factors underlying disease prevalence in addition to public health strategies.This comprehensive review aims to provide a thorough analysis of the epidemiology of PC,discussing its incidence,risk factors,screening strategies and socioeconomic burden.We compiled a wide range of seminal studies as well as epidemiological investigations to serve this review as a comprehensive guide for researchers,healthcare professionals,and policymakers keen for a more profound understanding of PC epidemiology.This review highlights the essentiality of persistent research efforts,interdisciplinary collaboration,and public health initiatives to address the expanding burden of this malignancy.
