Trends in pancreatic adenocarcinoma incidence and mortality in the United States in the last four decades; a SEER-based study.

PAC's incidence and mortality rates have been increasing for decades. However, the last few years have shown a promising decrease in mortality. We believe that further advances in healthcare delivery and research can lead to a further mortality decrease. Future studies can use this paper as a baseline to keep monitoring the outcomes of PAC's therapy.
