Pancreatic cancer prognosis
:-)If you have heard the news about Pavarotti Pancreatic Cancer, then you know that pancreatic cancer prognosis can be grim. Just like metastatic liver cancer was grim. Not to mention my uncle who died of pancreatic liver cancer as well. yet I can hear you say: people die all the time. And I can hear others say: I pray that my loved one won’t die… Just read on and judge for yourself. It’s not about me but it’s about you or your loved one, and every case is different!
Pancreatic cancer prognosis
Pancreatic cancer is a disease normally associated with older people between the ages of 60 and 80. Men are almost twice as likely to get afflicted with this disease as women.
Countries with the highest frequencies of pancreatic cancer are New Zealand , Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States .
The lowest occurrences of pancreatic cancer are in Asia, specifically in India , Kuwait and Singapore. Strangely but true: the highest occurrences of Liver cancer are in Asia, so there must be some reason somewhere that’s nicely overlooked. Or: the statistics again make no sense.
As pancreatic cancer usually develops quietly and hardly shows any pancreatic cancer symptoms until at the later stage, it is more often than not fatal.
Median survival rate from diagnosis is usually less than 6 months while the five year survival rate is only 4%.
Currently the screen methods for early detection are still lacking and because of that, the prognosis for pancreatic cancer generally is poor.
Even when the tumors are localized and surgery to remove it is carried out, the patient survival after five years is only 10 to 15%. This is because there is a good tendency for it to recur and pancreatic cancers are aggressive in nature. Even if radiation and chemotherapy treatments are used, pancreatic cancers tend to be resistant to them.
