The study was to analyze the correlation between pancreatic cancer and appendectomy, partial gastrectomy, cholecystectomy and tonsillectomy in Chinese population. Case control study was made comprising 493 pancreatic cancer patients confirmed by histology and 1031 hospitalized non neoplastic controls matched with age, sex, residing district, and economical income. The value of odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calaclated to estimate the relative risk of appendectomy, partial gastrectomy, cholecystectomy and tonsillectomy to the occurrence of pancreatic cancer, and logistic regression was conducted. The results showed that the risk of pancreatic cancer increased in patients who had had appendectomy, partial gastrectomy and cholecystectomy, and all the p values of trend test were
