Why awareness matters
Stay informed.
Take action sooner.
Pancreatic cancer can be difficult to diagnose early. Symptoms are often vague, and many people are diagnosed at a late stage.

This November, DiCE is encouraging people across Europe to recognise potential warning signs and take an active role in their health.

Know the signs
Every move counts.

Adapt activity to your needs and ask your care team what is safe for you.
What patients tell us
More than a statistic.
Movement, resilience and hope, in patients’ own words.
