Not directly: An acute episode of pancreatitis can be due to a number of causes and represents an inflammatory response of the pancreas to irritation. It can be from an infection or obstruction or tumor or surgery, etc... A single episode itself does not put u at risk for cancer however chronic episodes over time does increase the risk of developing cancer.
