How rare is it for someone my age to get pancreatic cancer. i know rare, but how rare? 1 in 10, 20, a 100, a 1000?

Pancreatic Cancer: You are really asking for specifics where there are none. 90% of those diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are older than 55. The average age of diagnosis is 71 years of age. It is very rare to get this diagnosis under age 50.

Very rare: It is definitely not 1 in 10, or 20. So it has to be somewhere between 1 in 100 or more like 1 in 1, 000. But this is not going to help you to decide what to do. All i can say it that it is entirely possible, so get it checked out thoroughly till you know that your pancreas is ok if you have the typical signs and symptoms of pancreatic cancer.
