The type of pancreatic cancer that BYU men’s basketball coach Dave Rose was diagnosed with is rare, typically with a longer life expectancy, but the prognosis and treatment options will depend on the disease’s stage.
This much is certain: Though pancreatic cancer is very bad, Rose has the best kind possible. Pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer generally progresses much slower than pancreatic adenocarcinoma, which accounts for about 85 percent of all pancreatic cancer cases.
