Dietary and Nutritional Factors and Pancreatic Cancer: a Case-Control Study Based on Direct Interviews

Obesity is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer and appears to contribute to the higher risk of this disease among blacks than among whites in the United States, particularly among women. Furthermore, the interaction between body mass index and caloric intake suggests the importance of energy balance in pancreatic carcinogenesis.
