Although the aetiology of pancreatic cancer is unknown, the current prevention strategies involve reducing risk factors. The two most effective prevention strategies include avoiding tobacco smoking and maintaining a normal body weight (American Cancer Society 2019; Xu et al. 2018). Some studies suggest a change in diet may decrease the risk of pancreatic cancer by decreasing soft drink and sugar consumption and increasing consumption of whole grains and vegetables (Lei et al. 2016; Pericleous et al. 2014).
