This : This is a difficult question to answer since I am not directly involved in your case and don't know specifics about the tumor in question. On average for all stages of pancreatic cancer, the one year survival rate is 25%, and the five year survival rate is less than 5%. If you have further questions please discuss this with your doctor.
