title: Epidemiology of pancreatic cancer.
abstract: New studies continue to examine the puzzle of pancreatic cancer, and the results to date have provided us with clues but no clear answers other than the detrimental effects of tobacco. Many of those clues, however, are promising, particularly with regard to diet. It is hoped that in the future better dietary assessment methods will help sort out the complicated, but important, contribution of diet.
