Since pancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the most lethal neoplasms and its incidence is increasing despite numerous ongoing research on diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapies, we aimed to investigate whether CD has an impact on the risk of PC. Material and Methods: We performed a systematic review of the literature published from January 2000 to March 2022 in two databases: Web of Science and Scopus and a meta-analysis of eligible studies. Results: Our search identified eight publications included in the systematic review. A total of five studies involving 47,941 patients, including 6399 CD patients with malignancies and 1231 PC cases were included in the meta-analysis and 221 cases of PC in CD patients with other cancers were recognized. The pooled OR for PC was 1.46 (95% CI 1.26\u20131.7) with significant heterogeneity (89.1%; p &lt; 0.05), suggesting that CD patients with malignancies were at higher risk for PC. Conclusions: The association between CD and PC is uncertain. However, the results of the current meta-analysis may indicate an increased risk of PC in the group of patients with CD and other cancers. Further multicenter studies are warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20021565","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T02:04:45Z","timestamp":1673834685000},"page":"1565","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Pancreatic Cancer in Celiac Disease Patients\u2014A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6858-176X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Iga","family":"Gromny","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dietetics, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Wroclaw Medical University, Borowska 213, 50-556 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katarzyna","family":"Neubauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Dietetics, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Wroclaw Medical University, Borowska 213, 50-556 Wroclaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"537","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molmed.2010.09.003","article-title":"A genetic perspective on coeliac disease","volume":"16","author":"Trynka","year":"2010","journal-title":"Trends Mol.
