Pancreatic Neoplasms - Etiology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Pancreatic Neoplasms'Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA). Common names: Pancreatic Neoplasms; Neoplasm, Pancreatic; Pancreatic Neoplasm; Neoplasms, Pancreatic; Pancreas Neoplasms; Neoplasm, Pancreas; Neoplasms, Pancreas; Pancreas Neoplasm; Cancer of Pancreas; Pancreas Cancers; Pancreas Cancer; Cancer, Pancreas; Cancers, Pancreas; Pancreatic Cancer; Cancer, Pancreatic |

A cohort study of the risk of cancer associated with type 2 diabetes.
16 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: There is evidence to suggest that diabetes may increase the risk of incidence and mortality from cancer. METHODS: In a cohort study using record-linkage health-care datasets for Tayside, Scotland in 1993-2004, we followed up 9577 newly ... Read more...
30 Jul 2009 OBJECTIVES: The Pro12Ala variant in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) gene has been associated with diabetes and several cancers. This pilot study tested for the association between Pro12Ala and pancreatic cancer risk in a ... Read more...
