Dr. Ron Davis, former president of the American Medical Association passed away from pancreatic cancer in late '08. He was a physician in the health system that I work for and headed numerous research studies geared toward cancer prevention and wellness programs.. the irony.
Survival rates for colon cancer, if detected early are quite high. If it's limited to the colon, they can simply remove the colon and do some chemo to make sure it hadn't yet metastasized. Pancreatic cancer is much tougher to beat.
