Aim of the paper: The aim of this paper is to analyze different factors that influence the trends of the pancreatic cancer mortality and morbidity at the UCCK of Kosovo. We have evaluated pancreatic cancer risk factors, durability and the lethality of the Kosovo’s patients that are diagnosed and treated in Kosovo. This is a retrospective research study that has been done during the period of 2011-2014. Materials and Methodology: This retrospective research study includes 289 patients recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, 2011-2014 at the UCCK. The main important factors included in this study are: age, sex and risk factors that altogether have considerable influence in incidence of pancreatic cancer. The imaging diagnostics are performed with the use of 2D ECHO Phillips, MSCT Sensation 64 and 6 and 1.5T MRI Symphony Siemens that are situated in the Radiologic Clinic of UCCK. The statistic data were obtained from NIPH of Kosovo and Agency of Statistics of Kosovo. Results: Out of the total number of the 289 patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the mortality in all age groups was higher at male patients - 63.3 % of cases (n=183) with the highest number found at 51–60 years age group. The 36.7 % (n= 106) were female patients with the highest incidence frequency at F 61–70 years age group. The F/M ratio is 1:1.7. The “plane” nicotine users were found at 32.2 % (n=93) while the joined, nicotine/alcohol addiction was detected at 23 % (n= 66). The 14.5% (n=42) have had established diagnose of the diabetes mellitus tip II and 7.6 % (n=22) have undergone the medical treatment of the gastro-duodenal peptic ulcerations. The total number of deaths is 257 (88.9%) and there are only 32 patients (11.1%) still alive. The mortality rate of the pancreatic cancer in Kosovo was 14.1 in 100.000 residents while the morbidity rate was 1.8 in 100.000 residents. Discussion and conclusion: This retrospective research study intends to present the role of the risk factor, that influence the mortality and morbidity of the pancreatic cancer in Kosovo and finally, to compare these results with similar studies abroad with aim to prevent the pancreatic cancer. The analyses of the obtained statistical data shows that the nicotine addiction play important role in incidence of the pancreatic cancer as well as alcohol addiction, presence of the diseases such are diabetes mellitus tip II and gastro-duodenal peptic ulcers.
