Raise awareness
Raise awareness of pancreatic cancer
At Pancreatic Cancer Action we know that raising awareness of pancreatic cancer and its signs and symptoms can save lives. Whether it's during Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month by Turning it Purple, or another point of the year, your help is invaluable!
Public awareness of pancreatic cancer
Public awareness of the disease and its symptoms is extremely low. Therefore, people may not consider their symptoms to be important and may delay visiting their doctor.
Raising awareness can be done all year long, but a great time to get involved is during Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month which takes place every November, and we do so by Turning it Purple.
Sharing our information regularly online can be a hugely effective way to create awareness. Follow us on, Facebook, X.com, Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky.
If you would like to raise awareness with healthcare professionals please e-mail healthinfo@panact.org.
