Myth - Pancreatic cancer is hereditary

KDAH

Having a family history of pancreatic cancer might increase the risk, but other factors like lifestyle, age, and environmental influences also play significant roles in the development of this type of cancer. Genetic factors account for only 5–10% of pancreatic cancer cases. Regular screenings are crucial for individuals with a family history of pancreatic cancer or known genetic predispositions to manage and monitor the risk effectively. #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth
