Simply not true. 95% of Pancreatic cancer patients do not live very long. It is the shortest median survival time out of all cancer types.

"Pancreatic cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States, with an estimated 33,370 deaths attributable to this disease in 2007. In fact, the annual mortality rate almost approximates the annual incidence rate, which reflects the generally short survival time associated with pancreatic cancer, most often less than one year. On a stage for stage basis, cancer of the pancreas is met with the shortest median survival time out of all cancer types."
