OK HCR1064

Designates November 2010 as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month in Oklahoma.

Notes that over 42,000 people were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the United States in 2009, with over 35,000 deaths, making it the fourth leading cause of cancer death.

Highlights that 76 percent of pancreatic cancer patients die within the first year of diagnosis and 95 percent die within five years, with no cure currently available.

States that pancreatic cancer research receives less than 2 percent of National Cancer Institute federal research funding despite the disease's severity and mortality rate.

Directs distribution of a copy of the resolution to Jay Stern, Oklahoma Affiliate Coordinator of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
