In a paper published in this issue of the Journal, Bouvier et al.¹ report that pancreatic cancer incidence in France increased substantially in women and men over the period 1982 to 2012: a period during which pancreatic cancer mortality rose in women at only a quarter of the rate that incidence rose and remained flat in men. The authors identified this pattern of increase as unusual because of the known high lethality of pancreatic cancer. It was also unusual, as they showed, in not being observed in other countries with mainly European-origin populations over roughly the same calendar period. Annual percent changes in pancreatic cancer incidence in France were +3.6% in women and +2.3% in men; corresponding changes in Canada, Denmark, Ireland, The Netherlands and the USA ranged from...

评论：胰腺癌的发病率和死亡率有差距吗？

在本期《期刊》上发表的一篇论文中，Bouvier等人。^1个报告指出，法国的胰腺癌发病率在1982年至2012年期间大幅上升：在此期间，女性胰腺癌死亡率上升的比率仅为男性发病率上升和下降的四分之一。作者发现这种增加的模式是不寻常的，因为已知胰腺癌的高致死率。正如他们所表明的，这在不同国家中也没有发现，这些国家在大致相同的日历期内主要是欧洲人。在法国，胰腺癌发病率的年变化百分比为女性+ 3.6％，男性+ 2.3％；加拿大，丹麦，爱尔兰，荷兰和美国的相应变化范围从...
