Risk factors for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) include diabetes mellitus, chronic pancreatitis, obesity, a family history of pancreatic cancer, and a history of smoking or alcohol consumption. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between risk factors for PDAC and malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN).
