Report

DelveInsight's 'Pancreatic Cancer - Epidemiology Forecast-2032' report delivers an in-depth understanding of the pancreatic cancer historical and forecasted epidemiology as well as the pancreatic cancer epidemiology trends in the United States, EU5 (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan.
Pancreatic Cancer Understanding
Pancreatic Cancer Overview
Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas - an organ in the abdomen that lies behind the lower part of the stomach. The pancreas release enzymes that aid digestion and produces hormones that help manage blood sugar. Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the pancreas. Several types of growth can occur in the pancreas, including cancerous and noncancerous tumors. The most common type of cancer that forms in the pancreas begins in the cells that line the ducts that carry digestive enzymes out of the pancreas (pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma). Pancreatic cancer is seldom detected at its early stages when it is most curable, and this is because it often does not cause symptoms until after it has spread to other organs. Pancreatic cancer treatment options are chosen based on the extent of the cancer. Options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these.
Pancreatic cancer occurs when cells in the pancreas develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. A cell's DNA contains the instructions that tell a cell what to do. These mutations tell the cells to grow uncontrollably and to continue living after normal cells would die. These accumulating cells can form a tumor. When left untreated, pancreatic cancer cells can spread to nearby organs, blood vessels, and distant body parts.

Pancreatic Cancer Diagnosis
Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose because the symptoms of pancreatic cancer are often mistaken for those of other illnesses, such as irritable bowel syndrome. It may go undetected until it's advanced. By the time symptoms occur, diagnosing pancreatic cancer is usually relatively straightforward; unfortunately, a cure is rarely possible. Diagnosing pancreatic cancer usually happens when someone comes to the doctor after experiencing weeks or months of symptoms. Pancreatic cancer symptoms frequently include abdominal pain, weight loss, itching, or jaundice (yellow skin). It is crucially important that patients are diagnosed as early as possible because early diagnosis can increase the chance of a patient having surgery to remove the tumor - currently the only potential cure. At present, only around 10% of cases are eligible for resectional surgery.
Multiple biomarkers based on mutation panels, antibodies, circulating DNA, microRNAs, proteins, metabolites, methylated DNA, and exosomes have been tested for pancreatic cancer screening; however, they suffer from a lack of application in longitudinal screening of asymptomatic individuals and are still not ready for clinical use, except for one. Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is the only tumor marker approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used for treatment monitoring in pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic Cancer Epidemiology Perspective by DelveInsight
The disease epidemiology covered in the report provides historical as well as forecasted epidemiology segmented by Total Incident Cases of Pancreatic Cancer, Molecular Alteration-specific Incident Cases of Pancreatic Cancer, and Stage-specific Incident Cases of Pancreatic Cancer scenario in the 7MM covering the United States, EU-5 countries (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom), and Japan from 2019 to 2032.
Pancreatic Cancer Detailed Epidemiology Segmentation
- In 2021, the total incident cases of pancreatic cancer in the 7MM countries were 175,767 cases, and these cases are anticipated to increase during the study period.
- Among the European countries, Germany had the highest incident cases of pancreatic cancer in 2021, i.e., 21,859 cases, followed by France which had 14,989 incident cases in 2021. On the other hand, Spain had the lowest incident cases of pancreatic cancer, i.e. 8,566 cases in 2021. Japan had 43,170 incident cases of pancreatic cancer in 2021.
- In terms of stage-specific incident cases, maximum number of patients were observed for distant pancreatic cancer. This was followed by regional and localized pancreatic cancer.
- According to DelveInsight, majority of pancreatic cancer cases are caused by KRAS2 mutation followed by TP53 and SMAD4/DPC4 mutations. Least number of incident cases were observed for pancreatic cancer associated with NTRK mutation.
