Black Americans are more likely to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer than any other ethnic and racial group. Researchers don't know exactly why, but they believe environmental and lifestyle factors play a role. Also, some Black patients face barriers that can hinder them from receiving care.
Join PanCAN on June 22, 2022, during National Black Family Cancer Awareness Week for a free, one-hour panel discussion with members of the Black community and learn how you can advocate for yourself or a loved one facing pancreatic cancer during this free, informative event. Get your questions answered and connect with people who can help.
