Cancer awareness help us to be better informed about the disease and people can significantly reduce their health risk to enjoy a healthy and happy life. An understanding of cancer also makes people better able to support those with the disease, as well as help people reduce risks to potentially prevent cancers.

This November is Neuroendocrine, Pancreatic and Stomach Cancer Awareness Month.

Neuroendocrine tumors are neoplasms that arise from cells of the endocrine and nervous systems. They most commonly, but not only, occur in the intestine, where they are often called carcinoid tumors. Pancreatic cancer arises when cells in the pancreas, a glandular organ behind the stomach, begin to multiply out of control and form a mass. Stomach cancer, also known as gastric cancer, is a malignant tumor of the stomach.
