Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 [lef.org] Pancreatic cancer Little is known about the causes of pancreatic cancer. The disease is difficult to diagnose in its early stages, as it presents few symptoms and there are few tests to screen for it. As a result, most patients have incurable disease by the time they are diagnosed. Fewer than 5 percent of pancreatic cancer patients survive five years beyond diagnosis of the disease. Surgery is the only hope for cure; however, due to the aggressive nature of pancreatic tumors, only 5 percent to 20 percent of patients are candidates for surgery (Cleary SP et al. 2004). Chemotherapy and radiation therapy produce only minor increases in survival rates. Conventional medicine's inability to treat pancreatic cancer effectively is illustrated by the fact that more than 90 percent of patients die within 12 months of diagnosis. Along with lifestyle changes and nutritional approaches, novel therapeutic strategies are needed for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I would say that chemo offers virtually zero hope for survivability. See: http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1231147#i (use internet explorer and if you do not see the chart, refresh the page). To say that surgery is the only hope is BS - the LEF is a great org, but they are still pretty mainstream when it comes to treatments that are not part of their own array of drugs and products. Like mainstream sources, they frequently tout " breakthroughs " based on preliminary studies, such as mice studies. If only we were mice we would have quite the choice of cancer drugs and treatments. Vitamin C is very good for cancer patients though, and high dose intravenous vitamin C has been used with fairly decent success. oleander soup , robert-blau wrote: > > [lef.org] > > Pancreatic cancer > > Little is known about the causes of pancreatic cancer.
