Epidemiology and potential mechanisms of tobacco smoking and heavy alcohol consumption in pancreatic cancer.

abstract：:Carcinogenesis is a multistep sequential process of clonal expansion of initiated cells associated with the accumulation of multiple cancer-specific heritable phenotypes. The acquisition of these heritable cancer-specific alterations may be triggered by mutational and/or non-mutational changes in the genome that affec...
