As the longtime host of the television game show Jeopardy!, Alex Trebek has been used to providing answers to contestants. Unfortunately, the 78-year-old Trebek has a diagnosis that still has many, many more questions than answers.

This is a very, very tough diagnosis. According to Cancer.net, each year in the United States, approximately 55,000 adults will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and approximately 44,000 will die from the disease. That makes it the fourth leading cause of cancer mortality, accounting for 7% of all cancer deaths. According to the American Cancer Society, data from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) show that five years after diagnosis only 9% of patients remain alive.
