Members' Business: Pancreatic Cancer Awareness

That the Parliament notes that November marks Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month and that 21 November 2019 is World Pancreatic Cancer Day; congratulates all of the pancreatic cancer charities and their supporters on working tirelessly to raise awareness of the condition; understands that it is one of the least survivable cancers and the fifth most common cause of cancer death in Scotland; notes that, while there are currently no screenings or early detection tests, some are in development; believes that early detection is vital to improving a person's chance of survival by ensuring early access to treatment and that this need for early diagnosis makes awareness and knowledge of the condition all the more important, and welcomes all efforts in this cause.
