Global Trends in Early-Onset Pancreatic Cancer: A 30-Year Analysis

Early-onset pancreatic cancer (EOPC) is increasing globally, particularly in Asia, with high burden in central and eastern Europe.

Prevention strategies targeted at high-risk populations are essential to curb this growing health threat.
