Campaign For Hope
Since the exciting launch
of Study for Survival last November, Pancreatic Cancer UK has
talked to over 1,000 people, including patients, carers and
families, GPs, nurses, clinicians and researchers, to find out how
to improve survival rates and quality of life for all pancreatic
cancer patients.
As a result we have identified a number of ways to make a real
impact on the fight against this disease. Leading on from the Study
for Survival we are especially excited to be launching a bold new
campaign, The Pancreatic Cancer UK Campaign for Hope.
The Campaign has an ambitious goal to double pancreatic cancer
survival rates within the next five years. It is a real chance to
make a difference to the lives of everyone affected by pancreatic
cancer, both today and in the future.
"I support Pancreatic Cancer UK's Campaign for Hope.
With your help, Pancreatic Cancer UK is determined to save the
lives of more people affected by pancreatic cancer. Get
involved and show your support!"
Martin Johnson, CBE and England Rugby Manager
'Few advances have been made in
diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer over the past 40 years.
Consequently, survival rates remain extremely low with just 3% of
people surviving five years beyond diagnosis.
'Pancreatic Cancer UK's Study for Survival provides the necessary
focus for healthcare professionals, researchers and patients to
identify why the disease is so challenging with the aim of
improving survival and quality of life for patients. It offers
hope.'
