EuropaColon members at the World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition Annual Meeting

MEMBER HIGHLIGHT:
EUROPACOLON SLOVAKIA
EuropaColon Slovakia was founded in 2007 as a nonprofit organization for patients with colorectal carcinoma. In 2014, epidemiological data for cancer and years of experience with patients motivated the organization to expand its target, and EuropaColon Slovakia joined the European Pancreatic Cancer Multi-Stakeholders Platform. The organization also established a new alliance, "Say No To Pancreatic Cancer," in Slovakia. The mission is to spread awareness about the benefits of early detection and to lobby for new treatment options.

KEY MESSAGING TO USE
For consistency in your print and digital communications about clinical trials, diet and nutrition, patient support, high-risk individuals, and symptoms and risks, the WPCC has created evidence-based key messaging. Example: The World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition strongly recommends that everyone diagnosed with pancreatic cancer is given the opportunity to take part in a clinical trial. You can find all key messages on the WPCC website. Each January, the WPCC will review them and make updates as needed. |

SHARE WPCD IMPACT STORIES
As we explore the impact of WPCD 2019, the WPCD Committee would like to gather feedback that may tell a story of someone who saw our campaign, went to the doctor and was subsequently diagnosed earlier than they might otherwise have been. Please email any anecdotes or stories (with photos if appropriate) to jisaacson@pancan.org. Thank you! |
