## Abstract Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in both men and women in the United States. However, it has the poorest prognosis of any major tumor type, with a 5โyr survival rate of approximately 5%. Cigarette smoking, increased body mass index, heavy alcohol consumption
The past four decades of epidemiological research have yielded valuable information on the risks of populations to environmental exposures such as tobacco, asbestos, and dietary components. Prevention efiorts have been focused on large-scale population-based interventions to minimize exposure to suc
Recent attention is focused on understanding the genetic basis for individual susceptibility to the development of chronic disease. An emphasis is concentrated on establishing an association between inheritance of polymorphic chemical metabolizing genes and development of environmental cancer (e.g.,
The results of a variety of studies on the genetic and immunological aspects of reproduction can be integrated into a hypothesis about the factors that regulate implantation and development and that may also cause an increased susceptibility to cancer. The primary condition for successful reproducti
