Abstract

Panceas cacer is the fifth leading cause of death resulting from CANCER and consists 10% of gastrointestinal (G1) tumors. There are several risk factors for it and SMOKING is the most important one. Prevalence of PANCREAS CANCER is three time higher in smokers. The present study is performed in three teaching hospitals and two private clinics in order to find the exact relationship between pancreatic CANCER and SMOKING.Patients and methods: This retrospective study based on existing data in patients’ files. Totally, 860 files were studied and the results were compared with results of other centers. 170 patients were smokers (65.21%) while 80 patients were not. There were 93 males (62%) and 57 females (38%) in the first group and most of them used to smoke 10 to 20 cigarettes daily (63.33%). Most of patients in the first group were over 60 years old (79.21%) and their body weight was more than 60kg (66%). There were 51 males (63.75%) and 29 females (36.25%) in the second group. Most of them were over 60 years old (76%) and their weights were over 60kg (61).Discussion: The study showed that cigarette SMOKING, obesity and old age are important risk factors for PANCREAS. The findings are close to other centers’ results. Other risk factory such as pancreatitis, constipation, alcohol drinking and genetic factors have been studied by other researcher but most of them believe that SMOKING is the most important one, so it is needed to increase people knowledge in this field.
