Not that rare: While not as frequently seen as breast, lung and colon cancer, l pancreatic cancer occurs in about 50.000 new cases and stomach about 25, 000 cases per year. It may be possible to reduce the gastric cancer which is mainly evolving from helicobacter and pancreatic cancer with some of the new vaccines being developed.
