Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
Purple is the traditional color chosen to represent pancreatic cancer
An estimated 52.7 million dollars was spent on pancreatic cancer research in 2004 of the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) cancer research budget. This is just 1% of the NCI’s 4.824 billion dollar cancer research budget for 2004.
Despite the especially lethal nature of pancreatic cancer, the research spending per pancreatic cancer patient is only $1145, the lowest of any leading cancer.
