National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month - November 2005

Friday November 4, 2005
November marks National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer does not receive as much media attention as breast or prostate cancer, but it is well deserving. Pancreatic cancer will affect 32,180 Americans in 2005. This year, about 31,800 Americans will die from the disease. The About.com Guide to Cancer provides the details.
