Our Mission
The Foundation is committed to pancreatic cancer patients and those entrusted with their care. We exist to provide support and comfort to those suffering from pancreatic cancer, empower their caregivers, and provide education to the general public about this disease.
Why We Are Here
Pancreatic Cancer has the highest mortality rate of all major cancers, with a 5-year survival rate of just 13.3%.
In 2025, an estimated 67,440 people in the U.S. will be diagnosed, and approximately 51,980 will die from the disease.
Pancreatic Cancer is the 3rd leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States.
