PANCREATIC CANCER IS DEADLY.
IT CAN SPREAD QUICKLY, UNDETECTED, THROUGHOUT THE BODY.
The pancreas is located deep inside the body; behind the stomach, connected to the duodenum and bile ducts, adjacent to the spleen.
This location makes pancreatic cancer difficult to detect and hence spreads quickly throughout the body.
Nearly half of patients (52%) are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the distant metastasis stage when cancer cells have already spread to other organs.
In this condition, the relative survival rate is only 3.1%. Early diagnosis is of the utmost importance with this cancer.
