Pancreatic&nbsp;cancer&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;type
 of&nbsp;cancer&nbsp;that&nbsp;develops&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;pancreas&nbsp;and
 is often unnoticed until it becomes severe. The mortality rate of pancreatic
 cancer is high, making early detection essential. Therefore, every year,
 Pancreatic Cancer Day is observed to spread awareness, and it serves as a
 reminder of the importance of early detection and research in improving
 outcomes for those affected by this disease.

 World Pancreatic Cancer Day</h2>

Pancreatic cancer
 is the 7th leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, with a five-year
 survival rate of around 10%. However, early detection can significantly
 improve these statistics. By recognizing and acting upon early significant
 symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, <a href="https://healthsy.app/all-category-blog/stomach-cancer-causes-symptoms-diagnosis-and-treatment" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(203, 27, 91);">jaundice</a>, and abdominal pain, we can
 foster earlier diagnosis and treatment, leading to a substantial increase in
 survival rates. On World Pancreatic Cancer Day, we come together to inspire
 hope and collective action against this disease.
