- RC280.P25.K70.1 - Pancreas (Pancreatic) Cancer
Andrew H. Ko, MD - Pancreatic cancer is the fifth leading cause of
cancer-related mortality in the United States, On a stage for stage
basis, cancer of the pancreas is met with the shortest median survival
time out of all cancer types. In fact, the annual mortality rate almost
approximates the annual incidence rate, which reflects the generally
short survival time associated with pancreatic cancer, most often less
than one year.
