This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 population due to pancreatic cancer.
Why is this important?
The pancreas is an organ in the abdomen that helps the body digest and use the energy that comes from food. Cancer of the pancreas, also known as exocrine cancer, is difficult to detect and diagnose early due to a lack of noticeable symptoms during early stages. This cancer becomes more common with increasing age and is also slightly more common in men. The risk of pancreatic cancer also increases for those who smoke, are overweight, or have a history of diabetes or chronic pancreatitis. Although pancreatic cancer is relatively rare compared to other cancers, it is a leading cause of cancer death.
