Pancreatic Cancer PrognosisA prognosis is a medical opinion as to the likely course and outcome of a disease. Factors that may affect the prognosis for a person with pancreatic cancer include the stage of the disease and whether it can be removed using surgery. Doctors also consider statistics from many other cases when considering a patient's prognosis; however, a pancreatic cancer prognosis is only a prediction -- doctors cannot be absolutely certain about the outcome for a particular patient.
