Title: Risk factors related to age at diagnosis of pancreatic cancer: A retrospective cohort pilot
study
Version: 2 Date: 23 Mar 2022
Reviewer's report:
The Authors determined in a pilot study,  the feasibility of a large study that would compare the
age at diagnosis of pancreatic cancer among patients with different risk factors. Sixteen out of
24 (67%) subjects showed  known genetic factors and/or had smoking and/or drinking habits.
Significant correlation between the age at which alcohol consumption was started and the age
at diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, was found.
The topic is interesting and the manuscript is well-written. The main problem is the small number
of subjects with pancreatic cancer included in the study and the difficulty to recognize patients
at high risk to develop pancreatic cancer. So, how this pilot study may be validated in larger
studies?
