摘要：Pancreatic carcinoma is one of the most aggressive neoplasia with a poor
long-term survival; less than 4% at 5-year with an increasing incidence in the last
decade. Surgery remains the only curative option for treatment but unfortunately
the survival rate remains low. Identifying the socioeconomic factors implicated
in prognosis of pancreatic cancer is the aim this study. In this thesis we studied
the patients diagnosticated with pancreatic cancer in one surgical unit. A total
of 346 pancreatic cancer cases were identifi ed between January 1, 2006 and
December 31, 2017. Mean age 69.63 years, 81% cases were male and in 74.1
% of the pancreatic tumors were cephalic. The incidence of pancreatic cancer
increased sharply with age and was 4.1 times more frequent in those aged 70–79
and 4.88 times more common in those aged 80-89, compared to those aged 40-
49. There was no signifi cant diff erence between the incidence or overall survival
and socioeconomic status in the group. In conclusion, the complex relationship
between pancreatic cancer and diff erent risk factors requires more clinical research
in order to developed new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
