The Facts About
Pancreatic Cancer
- It's the most lethal cancer there is. Overall survival rate is 5%.
- More than 42,000 Americans were diagnosed last year. 35,000 died.
- No early test. Less than 20% of those diagnosed are eligible for surgery.
- No cure, unless the cancer is surgically removed in its earliest stages.
- Too little federal funding. Pancreatic cancer research constitutes less than 2% of the National Cancer Institute's budget.
- But there is hope. With Cablevision's support of The Lustgarten Foundation,
100% of your donation will go directly to pancreatic cancer research.
Research is hope. And hope never quits.
