The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.) Carcinoma of the pancreas has markedly increased in incidence over the past several decades, and ranks as the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Despite the high mortality rate associated with pancreatic cancer, its etiology is poorly understood. [ ] Cancer of the exocrine pancreas is rarely curable and has an overall survival rate of less than 4%. [ Level of evidence: 3iA ] Improvements in imaging technology, including spiral computed tomographic scans, magnetic resonance imaging scans, positron emission tomographic scans, endoscopic ultrasound examination, and laparoscopic staging can aid in the diagnosis and the identification of patients with disease that is not amenable to resection. [ ] In a case series of 228 patients, positive peritoneal cytology had a positive predictive value of 94%, specificity of 98%, and sensitivity of 25% for determining unresectability. [
CNN - Unusual Dietary Treatment May Fight Pancreatic Cancer - November 29, 1999
http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/cancer/9911/29/vitamins.cancer/index.html

Extractions: From Medical Correspondent Linda Ciampa (CNN) The body of evidence is slim, but an alternative treatment for pancreatic cancer has brought hope to a handful of patients and caught the attention of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH has agreed to fund a five-year clinical trial of the diet and detoxification procedure at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York. The research stems from a pilot study by New York immunologist Nicholas Gonzales. Pancreatic malignancy has one of the highest mortality rates for cancer. It is the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Eighty percent of patients diagnosed die within a year.
Pancreatic Cancer Online - Information On Treatment Options For Pancreatic Cance

http://www.pancreaticcanceronline.com/

Extractions: Welcome to Pancreatic Cancer online, my attempt to share all the information I've come across in my reasearch into pancreatic cancer and the alternative treatment options that I've come across in my research. My name is David Rosenberg, and my father, Mort Rosenberg, passed away in 1994 from pancreatic cancer. During this time, I spent a great deal of time researching any treatment options I could find that had any positive results for pancreatic cancer. I looked for both medical and alternative therapy options, and the only criterea I used was that the option show positive, verifiable results for survival of pancreatic cancer. Since I know how quick and deadly this disease is, I thought I should try to share the information I came across so that people interested in looking for alternatives for PC wouldn't have to start from scratch in their research. While I don't claim to have information on all the alternatives out there, I have tried to put up information on those alternatives for pancreatic cancer that have these kind of verifiable positive results of any kind. During our research, we come across a myriad of product and treatment options and from these we culled the ones that made sense to us. We have broken these options into two categories:

Extractions: If you or a friend or relative have been diagnosed with cancer, you will find much more detailed information on our patient information site, CancerHelp UK Summary Pancreatic cancer is the 7th most common cancer in women, and the 11th most common cancer in men in the UK. Each year, there are over 3,600 new cases in women, and over 3,300 cases in men. Pancreatic cancer develops from the cells within the pancreas, a gland located deep in the abdomen. It is about six inches long and similar in shape to a tadpole. The pancreas produces pancreatic juice, which contains chemicals to break down fats and proteins in the diet. More than 9 in 10 pancreatic cancers develop from this part of the gland. The pancreas' other important function is to produce two hormones, known as insulin and glucagon, which control blood sugar levels. If the cancer is not treated, cancer cells can spread into nearby organs or lymph nodes, or, eventually, break away and spread to other parts of the body. Risk factors Smoking

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Women who take an aspirin a day which millions do to prevent heart attack and stroke as well as to treat headaches may raise their risk of getting deadly pancreatic cancer, U.S. researchers said Monday. The surprising finding worried doctors, who say women will now have to talk seriously with their physicians about the risk of taking a daily aspirin. Pancreatic cancer affects only 31,000 Americans a year, but it kills virtually all its victims within three years. The study of 88,000 nurses found that those who took two or more aspirins a week for 20 years or more had a 58 percent higher risk of pancreatic cancer. "Apart from smoking, this one of the few risk factors that have been identified for pancreatic cancer," Dr. Eva Schernhammer of Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, who led the study, told a news conference. "Initially we expected that aspirin would protect against pancreatic cancer, especially since its preventive role in colorectal cancer has been well documented. However, now it appears that we need to examine the relationship more thoroughly," Schernhammer added in a statement.

ACS :: What Is Pancreatic Cancer?
Detailed Guide pancreatic cancer. What Is pancreatic cancer? Types of Tumors of the Pancreas. (pancreatic cancer staging is described later in this document.).
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_1X_what_is_pancreatic_cancer_3

Extractions: Types of Tumors of the Pancreas The exocrine cells and endocrine cells of the pancreas form completely different types of tumors. Exocrine cells of the pancreas can form benign tumors, although cancerous tumors occur more often. Most of these benign tumors are cystadenomas. About 95% of cancers of the exocrine pancreas are adenocarcinomas. Adenocarcinomas usually begin in the ducts of the pancreas but sometimes develop from the cells that actually produce the pancreatic enzymes (the acinar cells). Less common cancers of the exocrine pancreas include adenosquamous carcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and giant cell carcinomas. These types are distinguished from one another based on their appearance under the microscope. Treatment of an exocrine pancreatic cancer is mostly based on the stage of the cancer, not its exact type. (Pancreatic cancer staging is described later in this document.) Tumors of the endocrine pancreas are much less common. As a group, they are known as neuroendocrine tumors, or more specifically, islet cell tumors. There are several subtypes of islet cell tumors that are named according to the type of hormone they produce. Islet cell tumors that make insulin are known as insulinomas, and tumors that make glucagon are called glucagonomas. Less often, islet cell tumors may produce other hormones. Most islet cell tumors are benign. Those that are malignant are called islet cell cancers or islet cell carcinomas.
