Observed on November 20
Early detection can save lives. Let’s spread awareness, support those affected, and encourage timely diagnosis and care.
What is Pancreatic Cancer?
Pancreatic cancer begins in the tissues of the pancreas — an organ that helps with digestion and blood sugar control.
It often goes undetected in early stages, making awareness vital for early diagnosis.
Know the Warning Signs
Don’t ignore these symptoms:
- Persistent abdominal or back pain
- Unexplained weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes)
- Nausea or vomiting
- Fatigue
Early Detection Matters
- The earlier it’s found, the better the chance of effective treatment.
- Regular check-ups and awareness of risk factors — like smoking, obesity, and family history — can make a difference.
Together, We Can Make a Difference
- Let’s stand with those fighting pancreatic cancer.
- Spread awareness, support research, and encourage regular health screenings.
