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.

About the campaign

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

Healthy ageing starts today

Small choices.
Healthier future.

Not all pancreatic cancers are preventable. Healthy habits can support your overall wellbeing.

01.

Eat well

Choose a balanced diet.

02.

Avoid smoking

Seek support to stop.

03.

Limit alcohol

Drink less for better health.

04.

Stay informed

Know your risk and the signs.

Know the signs

Every move counts.

Physical activity can support physical and mental wellbeing during and after treatment.

01.   Reduce fatigue

02.   Maintain strength and mobility

03.   Support mental wellbeing

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.
