What are the chances of a 20 year old man with no known family history getting pancreatic cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancreatic CA: Pancreatic CA is normally found in older like over 45, who have smoked. It's also linked to diabetes, obesity, FH. Being 20 would make it extremely unlikely for you to have pancreatic CA. You have plenty of time to take care of yourself...exercise, loose wt,eat well, take omega 3 and vit D, get at least 15 to 30 min of outside time every day, and do things you enjoy. Enjoy life!!
