Dear PBPS members,
Tomorrow is World Pancreatic Cancer Day, a day to remember the ongoing battle faced by patients and their families, and the vital role we as pathologists, researchers, and advocates play in making a difference. I wanted to acknowledge the importance of our collective efforts in the fight against this disease.
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most challenging malignancies to diagnose and treat. However, we continue to make strides in early detection, treatment, and patient outcomes. Our collaborative research efforts and the education of our trainees and colleagues are critical in advancing understanding of this disease.
Tomorrow I encourage you to wear purple, a color that encapsulates the spirit and courage of patients battling the disease and the compassion of those who care for them. On #WorldPancreaticCancerDay let us reflect on the progress we’ve made and renew our commitment to fostering a compassionate society with a shared mission of saving lives.
Sincerely,
Michelle Reid MD
President
Pancreatobiliary Pathology Society
