Uncontrolled multiplication of cells in the pancreas leads to pancreatic cancer. Explanations as to how one develops pancreatic cancer remain unexplained. But, it is not contagious. Over 29,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with the pancreatic cancer every year. Pancreatic cancer is treatable when caught early; but vast majority of cases are not diagnosed until too late. Five-year survival rates show 40 percent survival if the cancers are surgically removed while they have not grown in size and spread to the lymph nodes. What is stage IV cancer of the pancreas survival rate?
General research show that patients diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer survive within a median of 6.8 months to a year upon diagnosis.
