Living with Pancreatic Cancer – part 1
Courtesy of www.healthstand.net – Patients talk about diagnosis and living with Pancreatic Cancer. Pancreatic cancer is a malignant neoplasm of the pancreas. By the end of 2010 in the United States, it is estimated about 43140 individuals will be diagnosed with this condition, and 36800 will die from the disease. The prognosis is relatively poor, but has improved; the three-year survival rate is now about thirty percent, but fewer than 5 percent of those diagnosed are still alive five years after diagnosis. Complete remission is still rather rare. About 95% of exocrine pancreatic cancers are adenocarcinomas (M8140 The remaining 5% include adenosquamous carcinomas, signet ring cell carcinomas, hepatoid carcinomas, colloid carcinomas, undifferentiated carcinomas, and undifferentiated carcinomas with osteoclast-like giant cells. Exocrine pancreatic tumors are far more common than pancreatic endocrine tumors, which make up about 1% of total cases.

These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, and do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but some, like leukemia, do not. The branch of medicine concerned with the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer is oncology. Cancer affects people at all ages with the risk for most types increasing with age.[1] It caused about 13% of all human deaths in 2007[2] (7.6 million).[3] Cancers are primarily an environmental disease with 90-95% of cases due to lifestyle and environmental factors and 5-10% due to genetics.[4] Common environmental factors leading to cancer death include: tobacco (25-30%) , diet and obesity (30-35%), infections (15-20%), radiation, stress, physical activity, environmental pollutants.[4] These environmental factors cause abnormalities in the genetic material of cells.[5] (music by: Bjorn Lynne – Blissful Moments, courtesy of www.Shockwave-Sound.com)
