Current and Future Treatments of Pancreatic Cancer

Abstract

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is among the most common tumors in the world. Its incidence rate increases with age. More than half of all pancreatic cancer deaths occur in developed regions. The overall prognosis of pancreatic cancer is pretty bad. Only less than 15% of patients can be treated with surgery, and less than 10% of patients are alive after 5 years. The main purpose of the study is to summarize the current and future expectative treatments for pancreatic cancer. To illustrate it more particularly, we also add the basic introduction of pancreatic cancer, including: types of pancreatic cancer, risk factors of pancreatic cancer, symptoms, treatments, new trend, and the problem existing in the modern treatment. Our objective is to let people see and understand the pancreatic cancer clearer and more systematically. The way we study it is by searching information from the internet, picking the most important part, and putting them distinctly. By summarizing the relevant information, the treatments of pancreatic cancer could be improved.
