Pancreatic cancer is one of the few cancers for which survival has not improved substantially over nearly 40 years. Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers. 91% of pancreatic cancer patients will die within five years of diagnosis â only 9% will survive more than five years.
Often, the cause of pancreatic cancer is not known. However, the following factors may raise a personâs risk of developing pancreatic cancer: Age. The risk of developing pancreatic cancer increases with age. Most people who develop pancreatic cancer are older than 45. In fact, 90% are older than 55 and 70% are older than 65. However, adults of any age can be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Gender. More men are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer than women (see Statistics). Race/ethnicity.
