The
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (
www.pancan.org
) is
the only national organization creating hope
in a comprehensive way through research,
patient support, community outreach and
advocacy for a cure. The organization raises
money for direct private funding of
research—and advocates for more aggressive
federal research funding of medical
breakthroughs in prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of pancreatic cancer.
The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network fills
the void of information and options by
giving patients and caregivers reliable,
personalized information they need to make
informed decisions. We create a sense of
hope and community so no one has to face
pancreatic cancer alone. The organization
helps support individuals and communities
all across the country to work together to
raise awareness and funds to find a cure for
pancreatic cancer.
