A new survey found:

- 50%+ of adults under age 50 said they wouldn’t recognize early signs of pancreatic cancer (YIKES)

- 1/3 of respondents believe only older adults are at risk for the disease (WRONG)

We are working HARD to change the findings of this survey by creating awareness - in November and throughout the rest of the year.
