Pancreatic Cancer Awareness

Although cancer survival rates have been improving in recent years, this is not the case for pancreatic cancer. Currently, more than half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die within 3 months. Pancreatic Cancer Awareness month, taking place in November, aims to change this by transforming how we detect, diagnose, treat, and care for people with pancreatic cancer.

Early diagnosis is crucial to improve outcomes for people diagnosed, however, most people with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed at a late stage, with 1 in 2 people being diagnosed via an emergency, such as in A&E.
