  2. Facts about Pancreatic Cancer 4th leading cause of death Only one with a 5 year survival rate of 6% Survival rate has not improved since passage of National Cancer Act of 1971 In 2012, 43,920 Americans will be diagnosed and 37,390 will die 75% of patients die within the first 12 months of diagnosis Only 2% of NCI’s annual budget allocated
