Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer. Half of people die within three months of diagnosis. Unlike other cancers, GPs have no simple way of spotting the disease early enough for people to be saved.

A test to detect pancreatic cancer early is within reach, but we need the government's help to make this a reality.

We're calling on all UK governments to commit to the following three actions:

• Invest in and roll out surveillance programmes for those at the highest risk of developing pancreatic cancer
• Invest in and roll out new blood, urine and breath biomarker tests within suspected cancer pathways
• Commit at least £35 million every year to pancreatic cancer research for the next 20 years

Please write to your elected representative to urge them to prioritise pancreatic cancer.
