Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv) - Pancreatic Cancer
NDM7191 Lynne Neagle (Torfaen)
To propose that the National Assembly for
Wales:
1. Recognises that one in four people diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer in the UK do not survive the disease beyond a month and
three in four do not survive beyond a year, many because they were not treated
quickly enough.
2. Recognises in Wales there are around 500
new cases of pancreatic cancers every year, and that, in 2015, some 508 people
were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and in the same year some 451 people died
of the disease.
3. Recognises pancreatic cancer is the
deadliest common cancer with a dismal prognosis that has hardly changed in the
last 45 years.
4. Welcomes Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month
(November) and the work Pancreatic Cancer UK does to promote awareness around
the lowest surviving and quickest killing cancer.
5. Calls on Welsh Government to take action to
improve survival rates for people with pancreatic cancer in Wales through:
a) faster treatment, by learning from
fast-track surgery models in England that have shown promising results;
b) earlier diagnosis, by learning from Rapid
Diagnostic Centres being rolled out in England and piloted by Swansea Bay
University Health Board and Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board; and
c) holistic support, through timely dietary
and nutritional support to enable patients to better tolerate treatment.
