Although pancreatic is one of the more poorly understood forms of cancer, smoking is a major known risk factor - think of Patrick Swayze. Excess body weight is a major risk factor for many forms of cancer - uterine, oesophageal, stomach, kidney, liver, certain brain tumours, plus pancreatic and colorectal cancers and multiple myeloma.
尽管人们对胰腺癌不太了解,但大家都知道吸烟是其主要的危险因素--想想帕特里克·斯威兹(Patrick Swayze)吧。超重是多种癌症的主要危险因素--子宫癌、食道癌、胃癌、肾癌、肝癌、脑瘤癌、胰腺癌、结肠直肠癌,以及多发性骨髓瘤。
"Increased weight in the US population is a likely suspect, but previous studies have indicated that excess weight is linked with only a relatively small increase in risk, which doesn't look large enough to fully explain recent increases in pancreatic cancer rates," Dr Jacobs explained.
"美国人口体重增加引起了我们的猜疑,但先前的研究已经表明--超重只与胰腺癌风险相对小幅度增加相关,看起来并不能完全解释近期胰腺癌患病率增加一事,"雅各布博士解释道。
But his new study changes that by looking at excess weight gain when people are younger. Dr Jacobs and his team analysed data on 963,317 people without a history of cancer, starting in 1982, to see if those who were overweight before the age of 50 would have higher odds of going on to develop pancreatic cancer.
