Pancreatic Cancer awareness and Chase Hospice Care for Children
Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer death in the UK
In 2009, 8,366 people were newly diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the UK
In 2009, 8,047 people died from pancreatic cancer in the UK
22 people a day die from pancreatic cancer [1]
Relative survival to 5 years is only 3%
Relative survival to 1 year is less than 20% and is one of the worst rates in Europe
82% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the UK will die within a year as most are diagnosed with late stage disease
47% of people are diagnosed as an emergency in our A&E departments [2]
Only 10% of patients are diagnosed in time for potentially curative surgery[3]
Those who are diagnosed in time for surgery have a 30% chance of surviving five years [4 ]
It is the 11th most common cancer for men, and the 8th most common cancer for women.
40% of patients are under the age of 69 at diagnosis[5 ]
Deaths from pancreatic cancer increased between 2002 & 2009 while deaths from many other cancers declined
