Earlier this year the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network released a report titled, "The Alarming Rise of Pancreatic Cancer Deaths in the United States: Why We Need to Stem the Tide Today," detailing the rising threat of pancreatic cancer. The report reveals the startling observation that based on projections of U.S. population and cancer death rates, pancreatic cancer is anticipated to move from the fourth to the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States by 2020, and possibly as early as 2015.
