Pancreatic cancer is one of the most fatal and aggressive forms of cancer. Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis. There is no type of detection test, therefore by the time someone has symptoms and goes to the doctor and receives the diagnosis-the disease is quite advanced. Most people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are told they have less than one year to live. For people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, sadly, the survival rate is very low-only1 in 100 people (1%) will live up to 5 years. We need more funds and awareness for research and clinical trials before the outlook for people with pancreatic cancer improves.
