Espoir Pancréas

Espoir Pancréas is a French association dedicated to people affected by pancreatic cancer and their families. Described as the first French association bringing together patients and relatives, it aims to foster mutual support, improve understanding of the disease and help make patients’ and families’ voices heard. The association encourages people to share experiences and advice, while promoting earlier detection, greater knowledge of pancreatic cancer and access to the best possible care. It also works to publicize advances in treatment and the resources available to patients.

Through its website, Espoir Pancréas shares news, personal testimonies and information about the disease, and announces conferences on topics such as nutrition and physical activity. Its activities include public awareness and advocacy, including a campaign concerning access in France to daraxonrasib, an experimental treatment. The association also takes part in collaborative initiatives, such as a cancer-focused hackathon, and invites people to join, donate or volunteer.
