- Abstract
An increased risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PA) in patients with hereditary pancreatitis (HP) was previously demonstrated in two multinational studies. The PA frequency in this setting is however unknown due to lack of exhaustive case collection. The aims of this study were to evaluate the standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of PA in an exhaustive national series of patients with HP and to search for risk factors.
