Answer 1

this is what i found
http://www.pancan.org/Press/PR-20051101.html
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. U.S.A. (November 1, 2005) – Today marks the beginning of National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month – a time to educate the public about pancreatic cancer, a little-known disease, which kills one person every 17 minutes in the U.S. Pancreatic cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States, has a 99 percent mortality rate – the highest fatality rate of all cancers; yet it receives the least amount of federal funding of any cancer for research to find effective treatments

Answer 2

The 5-year survival figures, not to be confused with the successful treatment of the disease, for the major cancers are:

stomach - 5 percent

trachea, bronchus and lung -5 percent

breast -50 percent

oesophagus -5 percent

large intestine - 22 percent

pancreas - 4 percent

liver - 2 percent.1

There has been no significant increase in survival rates since records began.

Answer 3

Lung Cancer, I have always heard that anyway. Best to look up the answer on the Internet.

Answer 4

Lung cancer in males and breast cancer in females....and it's the mortality rate...not fatality.

Answer 5

I agree with sum4ohio. I think it's pancreatic, but I don't know any statistic. From what I have read, b/c if the location, pancreatic cancer is almost always detected very late.

Answer 6

pontine glioma , also known as brainstem cancer , it is always fatal
