摘要

The rise in early-onset cancers, including pancreatic cancer, has attracted major attention from the media, clinicians, and researchers. This growing cancer burden is largely driven by population growth and ageing rather than by an increase in risk, estimated by age-adjusted incidence. Distinguishing between cancer burden and risk is essential to avoid misinterpretation and unwarranted alarm, as each carries distinct implications for public health interventions.
