Pancreatic Cancer Action have recently launched a range of \u2018Understanding Pancreatic Cancer\u2019 guides, the first three of an extensive series.<\/p>\n
Designed by the team at Mzuri Design, we are very pleased to be working closely with Ali Stunt and the team at Pancreatic Cancer Action, alongside Consultant Surgeons and a Medical Writing Manager, on this important project.<\/p>\n
Only 10% of the 8,000 or so patients who are diagnosed each year in the UK are eligible for surgery, and this is the only cure. This is because 90% of these patients are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at a stage which is already too advanced. The goal of Pancreatic Cancer Action is to get more people diagnosed at a stage where surgery is still a possibility.<\/p>\n
These booklets are intended to educate, inform and advise. They are comprehensive guides to explain every step of the cancer and the surgical procedures not only to the patients but also family and friends, in an easy to read and easy to understand manner, providing help, support and information at a time when patients and those around them need it most.<\/p>\n
We hope these guides are a great success and look forward to continuing to work with the PCA team on the next instalment of guides, which will be released later in 2014.<\/p>\n
