There were 991 new cases of cancer of the exocrine pancreas in the New Zealand population for the five years 1970-74. The disease had a higher incidence in men than women and in Maoris compared to Europeans. There was no increase in incidence in the period 1950-52 to 1971-73. Most of the cancers occurred in the head of the pancreas and were described as adenocarcinomas. Seventy seven per cent of the patients had lymph node metastases or advanced disease at the time of diagnosis. Only 7 per cent were able to have resectional surgery and in 90% specific therapy was not given. The estimated crude three-year survival rate of all patients was four per cent and the median survival time was 1.7 months. The crude three year survival rate after resection was 9.8% and the median survival time was 5.8 months. The most important variables affecting survival were stage of disease and age of patient.
1970年至1974年的五年间，新西兰人群中有991例胰腺外分泌腺癌新发病例。该疾病在男性中的发病率高于女性，在毛利人中的发病率高于欧洲人。1950年至1952年至1971年至1973年期间发病率没有上升。大多数癌症发生在胰头，被描述为腺癌。77%的患者在诊断时已有淋巴结转移或疾病进展。只有7%的患者能够接受根治性手术，90%的患者未接受特异性治疗。所有患者的估计三年粗生存率为4%，中位生存时间为1.7个月。切除术后的三年粗生存率为9.8%，中位生存时间为5.8个月。影响生存的最重要变量是疾病分期和患者年龄。
