Cancer knows no borders.

The outlook hasn’t improved for pancreatic cancer — in fact, more people are being diagnosed every year.

It’s not too late for us to change the course of pancreatic cancer for everyone now and in the future.

7100

The estimated number of Canadians that will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2024. Unfortunately, 90% of people who receive this diagnosis will die. 

##

Research shows that Gen-Xers and Millennials are facing a significantly higher risk of developing pancreatic and other cancers than previous generations.

##

Emerging trends show that one of the highest rates of increased incidence is among women under the age of 55.
To fundamentally change outcomes for this disease, more must be done.

A significant shift in thinking and investment needs to happen now. Pancreatic Cancer North America is dedicated to funding innovative research, raising awareness about the disease and improving quality of life for patients and their families across North America.
