“…Heavy alcohol consumption can increase the risk of pancreatic cancer (Lucenteforte et al, 2012), as well as smoking (Iodice et al, 2008), sucrose-intake6 (Aune et al, 2012), processed meat consumption (Larsson et al, 2012) and high body mass index (Li et al, 2010), while folate intake (Bao et al, 2011) and coffee consumption (Dong et al, 2011) are not appreciably related to pancreatic cancer risk.…”

“…The risk of pancreatic cancer is raised by 75 % as compared to nonsmokers, risk persisting minimum of 10 years after cessation of smoking when the risk gradually diminishes to the baseline [17]. Another study that included nearly 13,000 patients with pancreatic cancer showed that current smokers had an odds ratio of 2.2, compared with never smokers, and the odds ratio was 1.2 for ex-smokers.…”

Pancreatic cancer is an important public health problem, although infrequent but with an exceptionally high mortality rate worldwide. Given that the majority of cancers occur in association with smoking, diabetes, pancreatitis, genetic factors, and others and with a growing population worldwide in mind, more cases would be expected in the near future giving further impetus to investigating prevention and treatment strategies to this international issue. The representative data on epidemiology of carcinoma of pancreas in India and Nepal are very poor. While there are many questions to be resolved, it is apparent that many facets of pancreatic cancer are becoming increasingly understood, and prospects for prevention are becoming apparent. Hence, screening research, recommendations, and implementation is an obvious priority. Although previous studies have contributed to the knowledge of carcinoma of pancreas epidemiology, such association needs to be further verified with proper epidemiological work. A new and global approach to the study of carcinoma of pancreas epidemiology is required if the disease prevention and treatment strategies are to be adequately directed and supported in the coming years. The collection and analysis of epidemiologic carcinoma of pancreas data will play a critical role in guiding future disease prevention strategies and optimizing patient management.

“…Smoking is the single biggest cause of cancer worldwide and is responsible for around a third of all cancer deaths (IARC, 2004;Sasco et al, 2004). Smoking significantly increases the risk of lung cancer, mouth cancer, bladder cancer, kidney cancer, oesophageal cancer, pancreatic cancer and stomach cancer (Brennan et al, 2000;Iodice et al, 2008;Johnson, 2001;Parkin et al, 2011). Alcohol consumption can significantly increase the risk of mouth cancer, liver cancer, oesophageal cancer, breast cancer, laryngeal cancer and colorectal cancer (Bagnardi et al, 2001;Blot, 1992;Key et al, 2006).…”

It is widely accepted that physical activity is important for physical functioning and well-being, and as such the promotion of active lifestyles is becoming increasingly significant in public health policy both in the UK and worldwide. Sedentary lifestyles have been associated with increased risk of obesity and preventable disease including diabetes, coronary heart disease and some cancers. With regards cancer specifically, this chapter will provide a brief overview on current opinions on the link between physical activity and cancer prevention.The published evidence focuses both on primary and secondary prevention. More recent evidence has investigated the use of physical activity in secondary prevention for those who have been diagnosed with cancer and proposed a link between physical activity, morbidity and mortality in those with cancer. The evidence-base for secondary prevention is more limited. Nevertheless, studies to date have indicated that physical activity can improve both physical functioning and psychological outcomes in cancer survivors, and significantly improve quality of life.The exact nature of those interventions which confer the most positive effects is less well-established, and there is a current lack of consensus on the most appropriate type, intensity and duration of activity for people with cancer. It has not yet been wellestablished as to which stage of the treatment programme physical activity should be encouraged (during or following treatment) or the most appropriate length of time during which structured physical activity interventions should be delivered to achieve beneficial results.These factors will be discussed in this chapter, and barriers to engaging in physical activity for those with a diagnosis of cancer will be considered. The chapter will conclude with a summary of key findings and the potential for further research.
