Dear PBPS Members,
Tomorrow, November 20, is World Pancreas Cancer Day – a day when the world comes together to raise awareness about a cancer that remains one of the most lethal. Let us pause to acknowledge the patients, families, and friends whose lives have been impacted by this disease and remember those who have passed away. Behind every case we sign out is a person, a story, and a loss felt by many. This is why our work matters.
The research, guidelines, and collaborations our community produces are moving the needle toward earlier diagnosis, better classification, and more effective treatment.
I encourage you to wear purple tomorrow to raise awareness and to use the day to recommit to pancreas cancer research and our shared goal of improving outcomes and, ultimately, finding a cure.
Sincerely,
Michelle D. Reid, MD, MS
President, Pancreatobiliary Pathology Society
