Survival
According to the American Cancer Society, in all stages of pancreatic cancer in combination of one year survival rate is 20% and five years, the rate of 4%. This low survival is due to the fact that there are limits less than 10% of pancreatic tumors from patients with the diagnosis in most cases, the tumor has already progressed so far, if not a surgical removal is possible.
In cases where resection can be performed, the survival rate varies 18 to 20 months. The overall five-year survival rate of 10% in May, but at 20% to 25% if the tumor is completely removed, and if the cancer spread to the lymph nodes.
Tumor size
Tumor size appears to affect survival. In the course of the tumor, the higher the probability cured by resection. However, even large tumors can be removed and a number of patients with tumors greater than 4.5 cm were are apparently cured by surgery.
There is increasing evidence that the best results achieved in pancreatic cancerin large medical centers with extensive experience - those who earn more than 20 Whipple procedures per year.
Progression
In patients whose recovery is not possible, the progression of the disease are accompanied by a progressive weakness, weight loss and pain. Effective techniques for pain management are now widely available and are seen by doctors in the treatment of patients with pancreatic cancer. The techniques are blockades and various medications can taken by mouth or injection. There are also a variety of techniques available to biliary obstruction, jaundice and blockage of the stomach caused by tumor growth can treat the cause. Surgical and non-surgical techniques can be effective.
Everything indicates that the best possible results for pancreatic cancer in large medical centers with extensive experience available - those who earn more than 20 Whipple procedures per year.
Unfortunately, only 4% mortality. almost no treatment for it, and my heart is with his friend. A close family friend died a few years ago with pancreatic cancer after a year and a half.
