Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month (PCAM)
Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month (PCAM)
Join us in raising awareness during Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month (PCAM). Learn how you can support us and take action, share symptoms and stories, and support life-saving campaigns to drive early diagnosis and better outcomes.
Why support Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month?
Every year, there are nearly 10,000 new pancreatic cancer cases in the UK, yet only 10% of patients with this cancer are diagnosed in time for life-saving surgery.
It is still the deadliest of all common cancers, with a 5-year survival rate of less than 8%. This is something that has barely improved in the last 50 years.
Across the UK, 52% of people know ‘almost nothing’ about this deadly disease, and 76% can’t name a single symptom.
With public awareness levels so low, Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month is vital in the fight to raise awareness of the symptoms and to ensure early diagnosis and save lives.
How to get involved in Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month (PCAM)

Recognising the symptoms early and acting fast could save your life, or someone else’s. When you know the signs, you have a chance to fight back against this deadly killer.
