Silvia Gavin

Cigarette smoking is considered to be responsible for around 25% of pancreatic cancers. Cigar smoking and the usage of smokeless tobacco products raise the risk as well.

These are also referred to as germline mutations. Specific hereditary disorders that raise a person's chance of pancreatic cancer.
