Gut | Aspirin Use Lowers Pancreatic Cancer Risk and Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Pancreatic cancer (PC) stands as one of the most lethal cancers globally, ranking 12th in prevalence and sixth in cancer-related deaths. Its aggressive nature and often late diagnosis contribute to a dismal 5-year survival rate of merely 12%. While surgical resection offers the only potential cure, most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, rendering surgery ineffective. Currently, effective and cost-efficient screening tools for the general population are lacking, and recommended screening strategies, like cross-sectional imaging and endoscopic ultrasonography, are limited to high-risk individuals.
