To whom it may concern,

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding mortality statistics and information on pancreatic cancer patients in NHS England.

Please provide the following information on pancreatic cancer cases within NHS England:
1. The percentage of patients diagnosed at each stage.
2. The percentage of patients who have died as a result of having pancreatic cancer for those diagnosed in each stage of the disease.
3. The five-year survival rate of patients diagnosed in each stage of the disease.
4. The median survival time of patients diagnosed in each stage of the disease.

In addition, please also provide the following information:
5. When or the conditions in which clinicians consider pancreatic cancer has become untreatable and terminal.
6. When or the conditions in which clinicians consider that pancreatic cancer patients have become more likely than they are not to die as a result of having the disease.
7. The key prognostic factors and developments that influence survival rates in pancreatic cancer patients.
8. Is any of the information I requested, or any related information or statistics, available publicly online? If so, where can I find this information?

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Yours sincerely,
Leo Pritchard.
