PanCAN

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) is a leading national organization dedicated to fighting pancreatic cancer through comprehensive support, research, and advocacy. Established over two decades ago, PanCAN provides crucial resources for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, empowering them with knowledge about the disease and available treatments.

The organization offers a suite of services, including personalized patient support, educational webinars, and access to clinical trials. PanCAN also actively engages in research funding and initiatives, aiming to innovate treatment options and improve patient outcomes. Their signature programs, like the Know Your Tumor® initiative, provide patients with in-depth information to guide their treatment decisions.

In addition to medical support, PanCAN fosters community involvement through events such as PurpleStride walks and runs, fundraising opportunities, and volunteer programs. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, PanCAN depends on donations to sustain its critical work in advocacy and to further the fight against pancreatic cancer, making strides toward a future where survival rates improve dramatically.
