<html:p>WHEREAS, Symptoms of pancreatic cancer usually first present themselves in its later stages. If detected at an early stage when surgical removal of a tumor is possible, the five-year survival rate has potentially reached 50 percent, but less than 20 percent of people are diagnosed at this stage. For 52 percent of pancreatic cancer patients where the cancer spreads to a distant part of the body, the five-year survival rate is 3 percent; and</html:p>

<html:p>WHEREAS, The federal government invests significantly less money in pancreatic cancer research than it does in research of any other leading deadly cancer. In 2022, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) had a budget of nearly $7,000,000,000. In 2022, only $226,800,000 went towards pancreatic cancer research, which is only 3.3 percent.
