Pancreatic cancer can be a silent killer. In United State, pancreatic
cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death. But, in Malaysia, it is a quite
rare type of cancer. According to the Malaysian Cancer Registry’s latest report
in 2006, there was a total of 253 cases of pancreatic cancer diagnosed in that
year. This is in comparison to the total of 21,773 cancer cases. Pancreatic
cancer is quite aggressive. Those who have metastasised pancreatic cancer only
have a few years to survive. In Malaysia, most patients who suffer with this
type of cancer are between 60-69 years old.
