Last year I lost my grandmother to Pancreatic Cancer. I didn't know much about this aggressive form of cancer until my grandmother had passed away. This is a form of cancer where the survival rate in the 1970s is exactly the same now, a small 3%. Most cancers have had an increase in survival rate, even though it's a small percentage.

What is the pancreas?

The pancreas is based in the abdomen and plays a key part in our digestive system. Cancer can form in the head, tail or body of the pancreas, though 70-80% of cancers are based in the head.

Symptoms

Pancreatic cancer is often known as the silent killer. It is hard to examine the pancreas during a physical examination and the symptoms of the cancer can be similar to other physical illnesses.
