The interrelationship between periodontitis and pancreatic cancer: a retrospective cohort study
The study findings underscore the potential role of periodontitis as a risk factor for pancreatic cancer in specific subgroups. Effective management of periodontitis, particularly among high-risk populations, may help mitigate systemic inflammatory effects linked to pancreatic cancer. Further studies are warranted to clarify the underlying mechanisms and inform targeted prevention strategies.
