PANCREATIC CANCER - IMPACT OF GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS. (English)

Pancreatic cancer is considered as a rare form of gastrointestinal malignancy and one of its characteristics is a late presentation. Usually, when the patient is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, illness is in its advanced form which leads to more than 95% death rate within first two years from the moment of diagnosis. Most common risk factors for developing pancreatic cancer include old age, cigarette smoking, diet rich in fats but lacking fruits and vegetables. Among important risk factors there are obesity, sedentary lifestyle and previous medical conditions such as pancreatitis, diabetes and liver cirrhosis. Dietary guidelines for prevention of pancreatic cancer include eating several smaller meals throughout the day, choosing optimal nutrient combination within meals and blood glucose control. In this paper, preventive measures for pancreatic cancer development will be covered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Karcinom gušterače spada u rjeđe oblike karcinoma probavnog sustava. Kasno uzrokuje smetnje, a kada se otkrije najčešće je već u uznapredovalom stadiju. Više od 95 % oboljelih umire unutar 2 godine od postavljanja dijagnoze. Najčešći faktori rizika su: starija životna dob, pušenje, prehrana bogata mastima, a siromašna voćem i povrćem, debljina, smanjena tjelesna aktivnost te ranije bolesti kao što su pankreatitis, šećerna bolest i ciroza jetre. Kod općih smjernica vezanih uz prehranu kao prevenciju razvoja karcinoma gušterače naglasak je na više manjih obroka tijekom dana, pravilnoj kombinaciji nutrijenata unutar obroka i kontroli glikemije. Ovim radom obuhvatit će se preventivne mjere razvoja karcinoma gušterače. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
