The paper by Anne-Marie Bouvier et al. brings scientific confirmation to a clinical impression.¹ What we know, say and write is that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in Western countries.² In a recent North American analysis on deaths, projection of the ‘top cancer killers’ has, due to demographic changes, placed pancreatic cancer as the second cause of death by cancer in 2030 after lung cancer.³ In addition, and as stated by Bouvier et al. in their manuscript, ‘very recent predictions suggest that the burden of pancreatic cancer is expected to rise over the next 15 years regardless of age and sex in European regions as well as in other regions defined according to the World Health Organization’.^1,4

评论：胰腺癌：将来会最糟吗？

Anne-Marie Bouvier等人的论文。为临床印象带来科学确认。¹我们知道，说和写的是，胰腺导管腺癌（PDAC）是西方国家与癌症相关的死亡的第五大主要原因。²在北美地区最近的死亡分析中，由于人口结构的变化，“顶级癌症杀手”的预测使胰腺癌成为继肺癌之后的2030年第二大癌症致死原因。³此外，正如Bouvier等人所述。在他们的手稿中，“最近的预测表明，在欧洲地区以及根据世界卫生组织定义的其他地区，不论年龄和性别，胰腺癌的负担预计都将在未来15年内增加。” ^{1 ，4}
