Pancreatic Cancer
Awareness Month – November 2025
November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and this November the
charity Pancreatic Cancer Action has launched their #DeadlyKiller
campaign. According to the charity, only
10-20% of patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are diagnosed in time to
receive potentially life-saving treatment.
As such, they aim to raise awareness of the symptoms to assist with
early diagnosis.
