[75] Reviews of epidemiological studies have found no association between dietary methionine and breast or pancreatic cancer risk. [76] [77]
[12] [13] In addition, high consumption of ultra-processed foods was associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer and pancreatic cancer.

A pancreatic cyst is a fluid filled sac within the pancreas. They can be benign or malignant. X-ray computed tomography (CT scan) findings of cysts in the pancreas are common, and often are benign. In a study of 2,832 patients without pancreatic disease, 73 patients (2.6%) had cysts in the pancreas. [3] About 85% of these patients had a single ...
