AnneD Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 Hi dmc,There is some information here:http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/prevention/vitamin-D#q8 ( Point 10 )but apparently the evidence from two studies is conflicting.One says that people with higher levels of vitamin D have a lower risk of pancreatic cancer, the other shows no effect. As always, more research needs to be done.Anne.
