Known as the "king of cancers," pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive system, characterized by a high mortality rate and poor treatment outcomes. It is closely linked to excessive consumption of "high-three" foods: high-fat, high-protein, and high-sugar foods.
The primary prevention of pancreatic cancer involves reducing the intake of high-fat, high-protein, and high-sugar foods and increasing fresh vegetables and fruits in the diet. It is also important to avoid overeating to reduce the burden on the pancreas. Overeating increases the risk of acute pancreatitis, and if not properly treated and frequently recurs, it can develop into chronic pancreatitis, which is associated with pancreatic cancer. In addition, diabetic patients should be alert to the risk of pancreatic cancer. Studies have shown that the risk of developing pancreatic cancer in diabetic patients is twice that of the general population.
