PALO ALTO, Calif. -- As part of its continuing program to highlight expertise and excellence in healthcare, Expertscape recognizes the world's top institutions and medical specialists in the research and treatment of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer originates in the pancreas and is seldom detected during the early stages. The American Cancer Society estimates that almost 50,000 Americans will be diagnosed in 2015, and over 40,000 will die from the disease. Patients are likely to benefit from a second opinion from a medical specialist or center with extensive interest in pancreatic cancer treatment and research.
