English: I thank the Member for that. The Welsh Government absolutely does recognise the significance of pancreatic cancer and the challenge that is faced in providing successful treatment for it. In the middle of the first decade of devolution, survival rates at one year for pancreatic cancer in Wales were 18 per cent. In the middle of this decade, they were 28 per cent. Now, 28 per cent is still at the bottom end of what other cancers are able to achieve, but it's nonetheless a 10 per cent increase in one-year survival rates within a decade. And if you are able to detect pancreatic cancer at stage 1, then the one-year survival rates are higher than 60 per cent. So, we do know that where we are able to get an early response to pancreatic cancer, there are successful things that can be done. The challenge lies, as I said in my answer to Lynne Neagle, as we know, in making that early diagnosis, because the symptoms aren't easy to detect and they are masked because they look like they might be a different condition. We've done enormous things in Wales over the last five years to increase the early diagnosis of cancer. Llywydd, of 100 patients who are referred by a GP as having suspected cancer, 93 of them turn out not to have cancer at all. But the reason that that is a good thing is that it demonstrates that we have widened the number of people coming in to the system in order to get that maximum chance of the earliest possible diagnosis. Pancreatic cancer is not the easiest cancer by any means to make that work and we now know that where you can make it work, surgical interventions have a more important part to play. We go on being determined to work with our cancer network here in Wales to improve early detection and diagnosis and then to put in place the services that respond to that with the maximum clinical effectiveness.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am hynna. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn llwyr gydnabod arwyddocâd canser pancreatig a'r her a wynebir o ran darparu triniaeth lwyddiannus ar ei gyfer. Yng nghanol degawd cyntaf datganoli, roedd cyfraddau goroesi ar ôl blwyddyn ar gyfer canser pancreatig yng Nghymru yn 18 y cant. Yng nghanol y degawd hwn, roedden nhw'n 28 y cant. Nawr, mae 28 y cant yn dal i fod ar ben isaf yr hyn y gall canserau eraill ei gyflawni, ond serch hynny mae'n gynnydd o 10 y cant i gyfraddau goroesi am flwyddyn o fewn degawd. Ac os gallwch chi ganfod canser pancreatig yng nghyfnod 1, yna mae'r cyfraddau goroesi am flwyddyn yn uwch na 60 y cant. Felly, rydym ni'n gwybod, lle'r ydym ni'n gallu cael ymateb cynnar i ganser pancreatig, bod pethau llwyddiannus y gellir eu gwneud. Yr her, fel y dywedais yn fy ateb i Lynne Neagle, fel y gwyddom, yw gwneud diagnosis cynnar, oherwydd nid yw'r symptomau'n hawdd eu canfod ac maen nhw wedi eu cuddio gan eu bod nhw'n edrych fel y gallen nhw fod yn gyflwr gwahanol. Rydym ni wedi gwneud pethau anferthol yng Nghymru dros y pum mlynedd diwethaf i gynyddu'r diagnosis cynnar o ganser. Llywydd, o 100 o gleifion sy'n cael eu hatgyfeirio gan feddyg teulu gyda chanser tybiedig, canfyddir yn y pen draw nad oes gan 93 ohonyn nhw ganser o gwbl. Ond y rheswm y mae hynny'n beth da yw ei fod yn dangos ein bod ni wedi cynyddu nifer y bobl sy'n dod i mewn i'r system i gael y siawns mwyaf posibl hwnnw o'r diagnosis cynharaf posibl. Nid canser pancreatig yw'r canser rhwyddaf o bell ffordd i wneud i hynny weithio ac rydym ni'n gwybod erbyn hyn, lle gallwch wneud iddo weithio, bod gan ymyraethau llawfeddygol ran bwysicach i'w chwarae. Rydym ni'n parhau i fod yn benderfynol o weithio gyda'n rhwydwaith canser yma yng Nghymru i wella canfyddiad a diagnosis cynnar ac yna i roi'r gwasanaethau ar waith sy'n ymateb i hynny gyda'r effeithiolrwydd clinigol mwyaf posibl.
