mike,

Pancreatic cancer is very complex in that there are several locations, genetic predispositions, physical responses are different, ages, physical conditions, additional medical conditions and various treatments including various chemo and radiation therapies. The overall statistics overall are not good anywhere - but, there is IMO one thing that does increase survival rates: treatment at a center of excellence where they specialize in pancreatic cancer where you are able to stay there during treatment, IMO relocate if necessary to be near that center for ALL treatment.

Is Mayo Rochester a ‘Center of Excellence’? We live in St.Paul, 70 miles north. Thanks.
