Can women get pancreatic cancer?

Yes, women can get pancreatic cancer. They’re only slightly less likely to get it than men are. Ruth Bader Ginsberg, the Supreme Court Justice, was diagnosed with it last year. Joan Crawford had it too. I read that, in terms of lifetime risk, women are as likely to get pancreatic cancer as men (about 1 in 72 or 1.38%).
