A member asked:
Recently, the american cancer society writes many people with pancreatic cancer live much longer than 5 yrs. and many are cured. can this be real?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That's true: It depends on type of cancer, extent of disease, surgical removal of cancer, response to adjunctive treatments like chemotherapy etc and overall health condition of the patient. In a favorable combination of above factors survival beyond five years is possible.
