Number of New Cases and Deaths per 100,000: The number of new cases of pancreas cancer was 12.4 per 100,000 men and women per year. The number of deaths was 10.9 per 100,000 men and women per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on 2008-2012 cases and deaths.
Lifetime Risk of Developing Cancer: Approximately 1.5 percent of men and women will be diagnosed with pancreas cancer at some point during their lifetime, based on 2010-2012 data.
Prevalence of This Cancer: In 2012, there were an estimated 45,702 people living with pancreas cancer in the United States.

How Many People Survive 5 Years Or More after Being Diagnosed with Pancreas Cancer?
Relative survival statistics compare the survival of patients diagnosed with cancer with the survival of people in the general population who are the same age, race, and sex and who have not been diagnosed with cancer. Because survival statistics are based on large groups of people, they cannot be used to predict exactly what will happen to an individual patient. No two patients are entirely alike, and treatment and responses to treatment can vary greatly.

Survival by Stage
Cancer stage at diagnosis, which refers to extent of a cancer in the body, determines treatment options and has a strong influence on the length of survival. In general, if the cancer is found only in the part of the body where it started it islocalized (sometimes referred to as stage 1). If it has spread to a different part of the body, the stage is regional ordistant. The earlier pancreas cancer is caught, the better chance a person has of surviving five years after being diagnosed. For pancreas cancer, 9.0% are diagnosed at the local stage. The 5-year survival for localized pancreas cancer is 27.1%.

In 2015, it is estimated that there will be 48,960 new cases of pancreas cancer and an estimated 40,560 people will die of this disease.
Who Gets This Cancer?
Pancreatic cancer is more common with increasing age and slightly more common in men than women. The number of new cases of pancreas cancer was 12.4 per 100,000 men and women per year based on 2008-2012 cases.
Percent of New Cases by Age Group: Pancreas Cancer
Pancreas cancer is most frequently diagnosed among people aged 65-74.

Who Dies From This Cancer?
Because survival is poor, the population distribution of people who die of pancreatic cancer is similar to that of people who are diagnosed with the disease. In part because it is difficult to detect early, the average survival time from pancreatic cancer is low. Pancreas cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the United States. The number of deaths was 10.9 per 100,000 men and women per year based on 2008-2012 deaths.

Changes Over Time
Keeping track of the number of new cases, deaths, and survival over time (trends) can help scientists understand whether progress is being made and where additional research is needed to address challenges, such as improving screening or finding better treatments.
Using statistical models for analysis, rates for new pancreas cancer cases have been rising on average 0.8% each year over the last 10 years. Death rates have been rising on average 0.4% each year over 2003-2012. 5-year survival trends are shown below the figure.

Cancer and the Pancreas
Learn more about pancreatic cancerThe pancreas is an organ in the abdomen that helps the body digest and use the energy that comes from food. Pancreatic cancer occurs when cells in the pancreas grow out of control and form a growth or tumor. Tumors may be cancerous (malignant) or not cancerous (benign).
