Pancreatic cancer
Little is known about the causes of pancreatic cancer. The disease is
difficult to diagnose in its early stages, as it presents few symptoms
and there are few tests to screen for it. As a result, most patients
have incurable disease by the time they are diagnosed. Fewer than 5
percent of pancreatic cancer patients survive five years beyond
diagnosis of the disease. Surgery is the only hope for cure; however,
due to the aggressive nature of pancreatic tumors, only 5 percent to 20
percent of patients are candidates for surgery (Cleary SP et al. 2004).
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy produce only minor increases in
survival rates. Conventional medicine's inability to treat pancreatic
cancer effectively is illustrated by the fact that more than 90 percent
of patients die within 12 months of diagnosis. Along with lifestyle
changes and nutritional approaches, novel therapeutic strategies are
needed for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
