🔬 Focus on the pancreas (1/12)

The pancreas is one of those organs you probably don’t think about much… 15 cm long and hidden behind the stomach, its main role is to help you digest your food 🍽️ and control your blood sugar levels 🩸.

Normally, it works quietly behind the scenes.

But when things go wrong ⚠️, it can affect the entire body.

📊 According to the French National Cancer Institute (INCa), there are approximately 14,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer each year in France.

☠️ Its mortality rate is particularly high, with nearly 12,000 deaths per year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

🧬 Pancreatic Cancer (2/12)

On average, 5 years after diagnosis, only 10% of patients are still alive 💔, making it one of the deadliest cancers.

Why? ❓

👉 Because it is very difficult to detect early.

However, it is only treatable if diagnosed early.

This cancer mainly affects people over 60, but can also appear in younger adults (sometimes as early as their thirties).

💬 “It’s therefore important to know the symptoms of this disease and not wait until they become serious before seeking medical help,” warns Anton Bilchik, an oncological surgeon in the United States.
