it does not show frequency at all just the percent of those who die, it states exactly what it claims to. the incidence of cancer is roughly 235,000/yr of whom the 5 year mortality rate is 40,000. the incidence of pancreatic cancer is about 41,000/yr of whom 39,500 die in 5 years.....neither is a good outcome
