Designates November 2026 as "Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month" in Florida

Pancreatic cancer ranks among the deadliest cancers in the United States due to difficulty detecting it early, with symptoms often appearing only in advanced stages

An estimated 67,440 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2025

Risk reduction measures include avoiding tobacco, maintaining healthy weight, regular physical activity, balanced diet, and diabetes management

National awareness efforts promote the color purple, educate on warning signs, and advocate for increased research funding during November
