Pancreatic Cancer

About Pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic cancer is responsible for the second highest number of deaths due to digestive cancers. It has the lowest rate of survival amongst all cancers across Europe, yet knowledge of the disease is alarmingly low. Symptoms can often be hard to identify, making it difficult to diagnose early and in time for surgery.

Together with Digestive Cancers Europe and Pancreatic Cancer Europe, we have issued joint policy solutions for lifting the neglected burden associated with gastric and pancreatic cancer.
