Today the public has rallied behind us as we have powerfully demonstrated the devastating impact of #PancreaticCancer in the UK.
It is unacceptable that 797 people die of this cruel disease every month. We need to do more.
Early detection is vital to improve survival rates.
๐ 797 pairs of running shoes to honour the 797 lives lost to pancreatic cancer every month in the UK. ๐
Today, we put pancreatic cancer under a national spotlight.
Something is missing. Right now, early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is nearly impossible. GPs have no simple way of spotting the disease early enough for people to be saved. But a test to detect pancreatic cancer earlier is in reach. Sign our campaign: https://t.co/rMt2tBo5Ql
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer.
More than half of people die within three months of diagnosis. Families are left with only hope to hold onto.
But people with #PancreaticCancer deserve more than just hope.

NEW CAMPAIGN: MORE THAN HOPE.
This #PancreaticCancerAwarenessMonth, it's time to change the story.
We need more breakthroughs, more support, more noise, more action. And more survivors, like Bryony.
Will you stand together with us?

Pancreatic cancer is the fifth biggest cancer killer in the UK.
But could a clinical trial for a new pancreatic cancer vaccine offer hope?

Thank you so much @PauletteHamilto for raising the shocking survival rates of #PancreaticCancer in #PMQs today. We're glad to hear @Keir_Starmer acknowledge the seriousness of the deadliest cancer & the need to speed up diagnosis & treatment - we'll keep pushing for this ๐ช
So excited for this important tool to launch today with @NHSEngland. If more than one person in your family has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, you could be eligible for regular monitoring. Check your risk today ๐๐๐ป
We're launching a new campaign, supported by @NHSEngland, to increase awareness of the inherited risk of #PancreaticCancer and the availability of regular monitoring for those most at risk.
When Eric Idle started to pen 'Death: The Musical' little did he know how much his own life would follow his proposed script.
Eric joined Jon Holmes to discuss his cancer diagnosis and finding the funny along the way.

'I'll let you know when it's going in.'
Jon Holmes' prostate exam tickles @stephenfry
When Jon was diagnosed with cancer, he realised men don't talk openly about the embarrassing indignity of it all. So, he decided he would.
