Normal: It means that there are no sing s if any inflammation or cancer in the pancreas. And at your age the chance if cancer is very low.

That is good: You should not worry about getting pancreatic cancer unless you have a family history of that disease or develop chronic pancreatitis, usually from alcohol abuse. Fortunately, pancreatic cancer is rare.
