cause of cancer-related death in the UScause of cancer-related death in the US 5-year survival rate is 5 percent5-year survival rate is 5 percent Seventy-five percent of pancreatic Seventy-five percent of pancreatic
cancer patients die within the first 12 cancer patients die within the first 12 months of the diagnosismonths of the diagnosis
The FactsThe Facts Low survival rates are Low survival rates are
due to the fact that due to the fact that fewer than 10% of fewer than 10% of patients' tumors are patients' tumors are confined to the pancreas confined to the pancreas at the time of diagnosisat the time of diagnosis
