When diagnosing or treating cancer, a less-invasive procedure often leads to better outcomes and fewer risks.
Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world and the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. A major contributing factor for pancreatic cancer’s high death rate is a lack of effective early detection or screening tests.
Although rare, about 38,000 Americans die from pancreatic cancer each year, making it the fourth deadliest type of cancer in the United States.
Pancreatic cancer research, compared to other diseases, has lagged for decades. It is only recently that research has given us some options for treating these cancers.
