Pharmacies REFERENCE Pancreatic Cancer (From the PDR Family Guide to Prescription Drugs) Each year some 28,000 cases of pancreatic cancer are discovered; and each year 25,000 Americans die from it. It is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths. The incidence of pancreatic cancer rises after age 50, with most cases occurring between the ages of 65 and 79. The risk of pancreatic cancer is twice as high in people who smoke. Other possible predisposing factors include high fat diets, exposure to industrial chemicals, diabetes mellitus, chronic inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), and chronic alcohol abuse. Pancreatic cancer is a silent disease, producing no symptoms until the advanced stages. The most common warning signs include weight loss, jaundice, abdominal or low back pain, and diarrhea. Others include fever and lesions on the legs. Patients may also experience emotional disturbances such as anxiety and depression, as well as premonitions of life-threatening illness.

The data in PC-GDB is extracted from the published biomedical research literature and stored as a collection of ‘facts’. These facts of the gene are in turn categorized into 30 different topics. This grouping facilitates quick searches and rapid retrieval of data. The data in PC-GDB is reviewed by the editor and the curator before being made public. The PC-GDB can be viewed based on chromosome number or alphabetical order of gene, the key word search system will be added soon, hyperlinks have been provided for the genes and the facts for easier access. Depending on the availability each gene in PC-GDB is linked to databases like OMIM, GeneCards and CGAP.

Pancreatic cancer has the highest frequency of K-ras mutations among all human cancers. This frequency of K-ras mutations, which resembles those in bladder and lung cancers, may be associated with smoking. Other possible risk factors include the following: Family history: About 10 percent of patients with pancreatic cancer report a family history of the disease. A few hereditary syndromes, including familial atypical multiple mole melanoma syndrome, familial breast cancer, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and hereditary pancreatitis account for a small percentage of pancreatic cancer cases.

80. Pancreatic Cancer, Exocrine pancreatic cancer, exocrine. Definition. Unless specified, nearly all reports on pancreatic cancer refer to ductal adenocarcinomas. http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/pancreatic_cancer_exocrine.html

Encyclopedia Index P Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index P Pancreatic cancer, exocrine Definition Exocrine pancreatic cancer is a disease in which cancerous cells originate within the tissues of the pancreas that produce digestive juices. Description Though pancreatic cancer accounts for only 3% of all cancers, it is the fifth most frequent cause of cancer deaths. In 2001, an estimated 29,200 new cases of pancreatic cancer will be diagnosed in the United States. Pancreatic cancer is primarily a disease associated with advanced age, with 80% of cases occurring between the ages of 60 and 80. Men are almost twice as likely to develop this disease than women. Countries with the highest frequencies of pancreatic cancer include the United States, New Zealand, Western European nations, and Scandinavia. The lowest occurrences of the disease are reported in India, Kuwait and Singapore. African-Americans have the highest incidence of pancreatic cancer of any ethnic group worldwide. Whether this difference is due to diet or environmental factors remains unclear. Causes and symptoms Although the exact cause for pancreatic cancer is not known, several risk factors have been shown to increase susceptibility to this particular cancer, the greatest of which is cigarette smoking. Approximately one-third of pancreatic cancer cases occur among smokers. People who have diabetes develop pancreatic cancer twice as often as non-diabetics. Numerous studies suggest that a family history of pancreatic cancer is another strong risk factor for developing the disease, particularly if two or more relatives in the immediate family have the disease. Other risk factors include chronic (long-term) inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), diets high in fat, and occupational exposure to certain chemicals such as petroleum.
