Around 500,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer every year.
The average survival rate of a pancreatic cancer patient is about 7.1% if the cancer spreads, but if it doesn’t spread, it has an average survival rate of 27.1%, which is very scary. That makes days like today all the more important.
Today is World Pancreatic Cancer Day.
Today is the day to support and spread awareness to those who have pancreatic cancer. Play your part by wearing purple or donating to a foundation.
Pancreatic cancer is the 7th most common cancer death in the world.
But even though today is marked as a single day for recognition of the disease, pancreatic cancer isn’t just a day; it’s also recognized the whole month of November.
If you know someone with pancreatic cancer, do a favor and support them by donating to pancreatic cancer care and treatment causes.
