Pancreatic cancer is the fourthleading cause of cancer death in the United States; it is the most lethal cancer, with a five-year survival rate of just 6 percent. Despite the staggering statistics, pancreatic cancer receives the least amount of federal funding among the leading cancer killers.
The month of January is Clinical Trial Awareness Month. The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network is sharing vital information for those patients who are in need of information on trials as well as those that would like to share their experiences with us. The information is critical to saving lives and helping patients’ families.
I am a volunteer for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and ask that you join me in raising awareness.
More public awareness of this disease will lead to increased funding for research which, in the end, will lead to a cure. Together, we can make a difference in the fight against pancreatic cancer
