Purpole with a Purpose - November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, and today is World Pancreatic Cancer day!  A day to lift your voice to encourage your leaders: political, industrial, academic, commercial, and social to support research to increase survival rates.

The facts are grim.

But our hope is strong.  We can make a difference.  In the last two years survival rates have doubled.  It’s still in the single digits, but it’s come from a 4% survival rate to a 9% survival rate.  That, too, will be improved with additional treatments and diagnostic tools, as well as understanding of risk factors.
Increase surival rates

Please help however you can.  Make your voice heard.
