Pancreatic Cancer Research

Keith William Kotecki, 60, of Loudonville, NY, unexpectedly entered eternal life on Tuesday June 12, 2018 when he lost his battle with Pancreatic Cancer. His son, Dr. Keith Kotecki explains that due to the lack of symptoms, the disease presents late and is considered largely incurable. According to the American Cancer Society, for all stages of pancreatic cancer combined, the one-year relative survival rate is 20%, and the five-year rate is 7%. It is estimated that in 2018, 55,440 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and 44,330 will die from the disease. All proceeds will be donated to the Marc Lustgarten Pancreatic Cancer Foundation.
