We've raised enough sympathy. It's time to raise survival rates.

Pancreatic cancer is the third deadliest cancer globally and is projected to become second by 2030. Incidence is expected to rise by 95% by 2050, particularly among those under 55. Despite this trend, the disease remains underfunded, understudied, and overlooked. Pancreatic Cancer North America's evolution from a national charity to a North American leader marks a decisive step forward, escalating pancreatic cancer to the global crisis that it is. PCNA exists to fundamentally change the way patients, caregivers, and communities experience pancreatic cancer. We are uniting science, advocacy, and awareness under one focused mission: to redefine pancreatic cancer from a death sentence to a survivable disease.
