These are the survival rates for pancreas cancer.[1]
Please bear in mind that these numbers are from research studies. You are not a statistic, and no-one can tell you what's going to happen to you.
Survival for one year
Sadly, most people are diagnosed with advanced cancer and will have less than a year to live.
About 13 in 100 people with pancreas cancer live for one year after they find out they have the disease.
Survival for five years
Up to 3 in 100 people who are diagnosed with pancreas cancer are alive five years later.
If your cancer is diagnosed early
The outlook for people whose cancer is diagnosed early is better than this. If surgery is possible, then between 7 in 100 and 25 in 100 people will be alive five years later.
