3. Pancreatic Cancer 

Estimated Deaths: 50,550 

Pancreatic cancer is a deadliest and most common cancer in the world, with an estimated 50,550 deaths in 2023. The 5-year relative survival rate in the US is only 12%, making it the fourth leading cause of cancer death. Late-stage diagnosis significantly impacts survival, with a 1% 5-year survival rate for Stage IV cases. Treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy, but curing the disease remains challenging. Early detection is rare, and symptoms often manifest only after the cancer has spread.
