Join the fight against pancreatic cancer

Fri, Nov 20, 2015 (2 a.m.)

Pancreatic cancer is one of the nation’s deadliest cancers, with a five-year survival rate of just 7 percent. It is time to wage hope against this disease!

To improve these statistics and celebrate Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in November, volunteers for the Las Vegas affiliate of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network are calling on the community to join them in the movement to rewrite the future for pancreatic cancer and double survival by 2020.

Community members can participate in several activities this month. To learn more, visit wagehope.org.

By uniting in solidarity, we can improve survival rates and patient outcomes!
