• Genetics and biology of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. (2006, background): “…age, smoking, and long-standing chronic pancreatitis as clear risk factors; diabetes and obesity also appear to confer increased risk (Everhart and Wright 1995; Fuchs et al. 1996; Gapstur et al. 2000; Michaud et al. 2001; Berrington de Gonzalez et al. 2003; Stolzenberg-Solomon et al. 2005).”

• Leptin and cancer (2006, background): “Several recent studies have suggested that obesity may be associated with increased risk for pancreatic cancer development in man and women (Moller et al., 1994; Silverman et al., 1998; Michaud et al., 2001; Calle et al., 2003).”
• Physical activity and cancer prevention: etiologic evidence and biological mechanisms. (2002, background): “Physical activity as a risk factor was examined in nine studies of testicular cancer (3,4,26,133–137), seven studies of ovarian cancer (3,83,85,138–141), six studies of renal cell (kidney) cancer (4,52,142–145), three studies of pancreatic cancer (4,146,147) and two studies each of thyroid cancer (4”
• The incidence of co-morbidities related to obesity and overweight: A systematic review and meta-analysis (2009, background): “The search identified 6 studies giving information on the risk of pancreatic cancer attributable to overweight and obesity (Figure 8) [42,45,66-69].”
• Diabetes mellitus as a predictor of cancer mortality in a large cohort of US adults. (2004, background): “Insulin levels are higher in diabetics and in obese persons, and, in recent cohort studies (40, 41), obesity has been associated with pancreatic cancer.”
