A member asked:
Can someone tell me if pancreatic canceris fatal all the time or just the majority of the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pancreatic cancer: Pancreatic cancer, especially the adenocarcinoma variety has very poor response to traditional chemo. New drugs and combinations are being developed and approved. Survival appears to be somewhat better with the new therapy. New patients are encouraged to enter clinical trials.
