Epidemiological Characteristics of Pancreatic Cancer in China From 1990 to 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive cancer and is predicted to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in China. To understand the epidemic trend of pancreatic cancer and formulate targeted preventive measures, it is important to analyze the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer.
