Overview: Pancreatic Cancer
How Many People Get Pancreatic Cancer?

The American Cancer Society predicts that, in 2008, about 37,680 people in the United States will be found to have pancreatic cancer and about 34,290 will die of the disease.

The lifetime risk of having pancreatic cancer is about 1 in 76. It is about the same for both men and women. A person's risk may be changed by certain risk factors (listed in the next section).
