Cancer of the pancreas is the fourth most common malignancy-induced cause of death in the United States. For patients with small primary tumors, surgery may produce long-term survival. However, because most patients are not diagnosed early, chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be beneficial. Combined modality therapies are under investigation and may prolong survival.
