Descrição

We conducted an epidemiological analysis on pancreatic cancer mortality trends in Portugal over the past 25 years. Using the Portuguese National Statistical Institute public database, we identified deaths attributed to malignant pancreatic cancer (ICD10-C25; ICD9/8–157) on official death certificates issued between 1991 and 2015.
