World Pancreatic Cancer Day – 21st November 2024

Join Us in the Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer

On World Pancreatic Cancer Day, we come together to raise awareness, support those affected, and drive research towards a cure.

Why it Matters

Every year, there are around 10,500 new pancreatic cancer cases in the UK, yet only 10% of patients with this cancer are diagnosed in time for life-saving surgery. It is still the deadliest of all common cancers, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 8%. This is something that has barely improved in the last 50 years. Pancreatic cancer often goes undetected until it’s too late.

Across the UK, 52% of people know ‘almost nothing’ about this deadly disease, and 76% can’t name a single symptom.  With public awareness levels so low, Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month is vital in the fight to raise awareness of the symptoms and to ensure early diagnosis and save lives. 

We say “Hello Pancreas” to learn the risks and symptoms.
