Talking about pancreatic cancer
Use these facts in your posts, newsletters or speeches on the night.
More than 4,800 Australians are expected to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer this year.
Pancreatic cancer is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in Australia.
Symptoms can be vague, and there’s no routine screening test, so knowing the signs matters.
Pankind’s mission is to triple survival rates by 2030.
These are general statistics for large groups of people, so they can’t tell you what will happen in an individual case.
Share your light up - we’d love to see it
