About 60,000 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year in the U.S., and the rate of occurrence is slightly higher in Blacks than any other race.  The five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is about 10%, in part because the disease is often diagnosed at an advanced stage. This is because tumors are not found on a physical exam and the symptoms mimic many other more common conditions.
