Pancreatic Cancer, also known as exocrine cancer, is a disease where malignant (cancer) cells appear in the tissues of the pancreas.
Uncontrolled multiplication of cells in the pancreas leads to pancreatic cancer. Explanations as to how one develops pancreatic cancer remain unexplained. However, 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 display 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.
Peggy Kesler was told that she has two months to live when she was diagnosed in July 2001. Symptoms that occurred to her were jaundice. She was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer with metastasis in the liver and was informed that it was inoperable and incurable. Upon second opinion, the doctors explained a very aggressive treatment plan. She spent 26 days in the hospital fighting an infection and a collapsed lung. During her stay in the hospital, she felt surrounded by friends and people who really cared and who gave hope. She had to come back after five months to go through another series of treatment. Now, she is proud of being well and travels and sets goals for longer life.
Roger stump was 52 at the time of stage IV pancreatic cancer diagnosis with metastasis to the liver. It was August 2004. He had no symptoms from the disease and had not been sick in twenty years. After treatment, he survived the cancer. He had a cancer checkup in October 2007 and the tumor residue could no longer be seen on the CT scan. In May 2008, I had a PET scan and am still cancer free.
