“…While incidence and prevalence rates for PDAC are thus nearly equal, they vary widely for chronic pancreatitis (CP) indicating the long lasting and debilitating nature of the disease. Although the exact numbers vary between different countries, most European studies show comparable incidence and prevalence rates around 8 per 100,000 and 28 per 100,000 people, respectively [7][8][9]. This article will outline the molecular basis and histopathologic features of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) and point to the differences as well as similarities in the pathophysiology between these two frequent diseases of the pancreas.…”

“…The incidence of CP in Europe ranges between 1.6 and 23 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year, with a prevalence of approximately 27 patients per 100,000 inhabitants [1,2].…”

“…Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a benign inflammatory disease of the pancreas that leads to irreversible damage of functional parenchyma and disruption of exocrine and endocrine function, ultimately resulting in gland atrophy with or without calcifications . The incidence and prevalence of CP seems to be country‐specific, with higher rates having been reported in Japan (incidence, 14.4 per 100,000 inhabitants; prevalence, 35.5 per 100,000 in 2002) [4] than in European countries . Interestingly, in Japan, incidence and prevalence rates have shown a marked increase over time [8].…”
