Exocrine pancreatic cancer is rarely curable and has an overall survival (OS) rate of less than 6%.
The highest cure rate occurs if the tumor is truly localized to the pancreas; however, this stage of disease accounts for less than 20% of cases. For patients with localized disease and small cancers (

The 1- and 5-year relative survival rates for persons
with colorectal cancer are 84% and 64%, respectively. Survival
continues to decline to 58% at 10 years after diagnosis. When
colorectal cancers are detected at an early, localized stage, the
5-year survival is 90%; however, only 39% of colorectal cancers
are diagnosed at this stage, in part due to the underuse of screening.
If the cancer has spread regionally to involve nearby organs
or lymph nodes at the time of diagnosis, the 5-year survival
drops to 70%. If the disease has spread to distant organs, the
5-year survival is 12%.

不是比較兩種癌症,是比較兩種態度。
兩人都對替代療法有一定程度的信任和欣賞,但裏根將正規治療放在首位;而喬布斯則反過來。
說得對。但如果喬布斯發現胰腺癌時還沒有轉移,立刻就手術,治愈的機會還是有的。

大唐三藏 義淨譯
如是我聞。一時,薄伽梵在王舍大城,竹林園中,與大比丘眾五百人俱。時有眾多比丘,身患痔病,形體羸(lei2)瘦,痛苦縈(ying2)纏,於日夜中,極受憂惱。時具壽阿難陀,見是事已,詣世尊所,頂禮雙足,在一麵立,白佛言:世尊!今王舍城,多有比丘,身患痔病,形體羸瘦,痛苦縈纏,於日夜中,極受憂惱,世尊!此諸病苦,雲何救療?
爾時,佛告阿難陀:汝可聽此療痔病經,讀誦受持,係心勿忘。亦於他人,廣為宣說,此諸痔病,悉得除爾。所謂風痔、熱痔、陰痔、三合痔、血痔、腹中痔、鼻內痔、齒痔、舌痔、眼痔、耳痔、頂痔、手足痔、脊背痔、糞門痔,遍身支節所生諸痔、如是痔瘺、悉皆幹燥,墮落消滅,必瘥(chai4)無疑。皆應誦持如是神咒。即說咒曰:
怛姪他。 頞蘭帝。 頞藍謎,
da zhi ta 。e4 lan2 di4。e4 lan2 mi2
室利鞞。室裏室裏。
shi2 li4 pi2。shi2 li3 shi2 li3
磨羯失質。三婆跋睹。莎訶。
mo jie2 shi zhi4。san po2 ba2 du3。suo he
阿難陀!於此北方,有大雪山王,中有大婆羅樹,名曰難勝,有三種華:一者初生、二者圓滿、三者幹枯。猶如彼華幹燥落時,我諸比丘所患痔病,亦複如是。勿複血出,亦無膿流,永除苦痛,悉皆平複,即令幹燥。又複,若常誦此經者,得宿命住智,能憶過去七生之事,咒法成就,莎訶。又說咒曰:
怛姪他。苫謎苫謎。捨苫謎。
da zhi ta 。shan mi shan mi。she shan mi。
捨末泥。捨苫泥。莎訶。
she mo ni。she shan ni。suo he。
佛說是經已,時具壽阿難陀,及諸大眾,皆大歡喜,信受奉行。
如果裏根選擇了不手術而一開始就采用苦杏仁來治療,他也許就無需承受老年癡呆的折磨了,夫人南希也可以早點解脫。
如果喬布斯一開始就手術,他可能就要目睹蘋果的衰落,這可能比死了還痛苦。他的夫人也就沒有機會與壯男約會了。
