Early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer
Last update date July 1, 2024
Early detection and treatment of pancreatic cancer are important.
Pancreatic cancer is difficult to find and diagnose, and is known as a refractory cancer with a low survival rate among all cancers, and ranks fourth in the number of deaths from cancer.
However, it is said that if the diagnosis can be made at an early stage of 10 mm or less, the treatment results will be relatively good. Therefore, the “Early Diagnosis Project” is being conducted to detect pancreatic cancer at an early stage and leads to treatment.
Handouts are being distributed in various parts of the city!
