Pancreatic cancer is the world’s deadliest cancer with a five-year survival rate of just 12 percent. It is also the third-leading cause of cancer-related death in America. In 2023, more than 64,000 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the U.S., and more than 50,000 will die from the disease – including approximately 3,510 Texans. Awareness and funding are urgently needed to support pancreatic cancer patients locally and across the country.
The Mayor of Dallas has also Proclaimed April 29th PANCREATIC CANCER AWARENESS DAY!
