Board of Commissioners - Resolution Declaring November 17, 2022, as World Pancreatic
Cancer Awareness Day in Oakland County
Chairperson and Members of the Board:
WHEREAS pancreatic cancer surpassed breast cancer to become the third leading cause of cancer
death in the United States, and it is projected to become the second leading cause in 2022; and
WHEREAS currently, there is no standard screening test or early detection method to diagnose
pancreatic cancer; and
WHEREAS when symptoms of pancreatic cancer present themselves, it is generally in later stages,
and 70 percent of pancreatic cancer patients die within the first year of their diagnosis and the 5-year
survival rate is only 9 percent; and
WHEREAS in 2022, an estimated 62,210 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the
United States, and 49,830 will die from the disease; and
WHEREAS the average lifetime risk of pancreatic cancer is about 1 in 64. But each person’s chances
of getting this cancer can be affected by certain risk factors; and
WHEREAS the importance of education and knowledge about this disease cannot be overstated and
contributes to the ability to lead a healthy, balanced, and productive life; and
WHEREAS the good health and well-being of the residents of Oakland County are enhanced as a
direct result of increased awareness about the symptoms and risk factors of pancreatic cancer, and
research into early detection, causes, and effective treatments.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners declares
November 17, 2022, as World Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day in Oakland County.
