My dad died two years ago from pancreatic cancer - I just found this paper a few days ago - it was written in 2003 though.

Tooth loss, pancreatic cancer, and Helicobacter pylori

He smoked most of his life and had false teeth, so I guess I know why he got it now. Too bad his doctor didn’t keep up on current research or he would have realized my died had a high risk of pancreatic cancer and they would have realized what was wrong earlier instead of just saying he was a diabetic.

If anyone has heard up more recent research about this, please let me know, I’d love to follow this story.
