The American Cancer Society (ACS) report that around 55,440 people will develop pancreatic cancer in 2018 and around 44,330 people will die as a result.
This cancer is particularly difficult to both treat and diagnose.
A lack of specific and accessible screening methods means that specialists often find the disease in its later stages, which can impact the patients’ outlook.
The ACS estimate that 12–14 percent of people with early-stage pancreatic cancer go on to survive for 5 years.
New research offers much-needed hope; scientists have found that a derivative of camptothecin — which is a Chinese tree bark compound whose anticancer properties were discovered over half a century ago — can effectively kill pancreatic cancer tumors.

There is a book which I have read by Clint Walker (a worker in the fields of preventive health, and has a degree in journalism and library science). It is titled “Marijuana, Gateway to Health” with a sub-title: “How Cannabis Protects us from Cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease”. It discusses the many researched uses of the “Marijuana” plant for it’s use in preventing and eliminating almost any and all cancers. There is no need for any more substances, because this one is the best, and is proven time and time again with hundreds of studies over the decades (or even centuries). Many of these studies are on PubMed.com (the place where almost all of the important scientific studies on health are free to explore on the internet. One such study, using rats, showed that their lifespan doubled when given Marijuana. That one, I thought was amazing, although I do not think I want to live that long because it will become too expensive to live before long, especially if one depends upon Social Security. At any rate, as Andrew Weil (a VERY well known medical professional) says on the cover: “This book should be required reading for all medical professionals, elected officials, and everyone interested in health and wellness”.
