Type II diabetes, heavy alcohol drinking, cigarette smoking, excess body weight, chronic pancreatitis, a family history of pancreatic cancer and known identifiable risk factors for pancreatic cancer. Diagnosis and staging are achieved by a combination of endoscopic, radiologic, and histologic features. Whipple’s procedure is one of the surgery for this condition to treat.References
