The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 104, which proclaims November 2025 as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. This resolution highlights the significant impact of pancreatic cancer, noting that an estimated 67,440 adults in the United States will be diagnosed with the disease this year, leading to approximately 51,980 deaths. In Wisconsin alone, it is projected that pancreatic cancer will result in 1,060 deaths, making it a critical health concern for the state. The resolution emphasizes the importance of raising awareness about pancreatic cancer, as well as the need for dedicated research into early detection, causes, and effective treatments.

The resolution is supported by a bipartisan group of representatives and senators, reflecting a collective commitment to improving public health in Wisconsin. By designating November 2025 as Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, the legislature aims to encourage citizens to educate themselves and others about pancreatic cancer, as well as to promote available services for patients affected by the disease. This initiative seeks to enhance the overall well-being of Wisconsin residents through increased awareness and advocacy for pancreatic cancer research and support.
