World Pancreatic Cancer Day is today: If pancreatic cancer is found early, it saves lives
LUND, Sweden ―Today on World Pancreatic Cancer Day, pancreatic cancer remains to show one of the lowest survival rates among all major cancers. In nearly every country, pancreatic cancer is the only cancer with a single-digit five-year survival rate (2-9 percent). Every day, more than 1,000 people worldwide will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and an estimated 985 will die from the disease. It is estimated that by 2020, 418,000 new cases will be diagnosed globally.Online event in Sweden on World Pancreatic Cancer Day World Pancreatic Cancer Day Sweden in 2017 will be an online event
