Cigarette smoking is thought to account for 30% of deaths from pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Diabetes and chronic pancreatitis are also associated with increased risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Whipple's procedure carries a risk of 5% mortality. The survival rate, including the ones undergone Whipple's, is not more than 5%. 80% of carcinomas arise from the head. The carconomas arising from body, tail and uncinate process carry worse prognosis than those arising from the head, because of late presentation.
