News & Media

It’s been said that it is hard to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer because people who get it don’t live long enough. Creating awareness and informing the public about pancreatic cancer is paramount to making real change happen. We are committed to raising our voices on behalf of those who can’t.

Leah Crescenzo was just 52 when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Four months later, she was gone.

Her story is becoming more common. Diagnoses are increasing among younger generations. It's why her family turned their grief into action.

Clinical trials save lives. They are an essential

Clinical trials save lives. They are an essential step in translating research into life-saving treatments. But for too many Canadian pancreatic cancer patients, clinical trials are inaccessible.

As a proud member of CanReview, we are working to accelerate a more coordinated, efficient, and inclusive clinical trial landscape in Canada.

Learn more about #CanReview and our collective efforts to break down barriers to clinical trials by clicking the link in our bio.

Transforming the future of pancreatic cancer deman

Transforming the future of pancreatic cancer demands bold innovation, and that is precisely what Pancreatic Cancer Canada is doing.

NeoPancONE, a breakthrough study funded entirely by PCC donors, was highlighted at this year’s @ascocancer Conference.

Read about the NeoPancONE research results on our website - link in bio.

Your continued support is how we will change the way pancreatic cancer is diagnosed and treated - saving more lives.

Pancreatic cancer is striking earlier and so are the ripple effects. Early-onset cases are on the rise, and loved ones are becoming caregivers younger and younger.

It is time that support mirrored reality. Pancreatic Cancer Canada and @wellspringcan are building programs for patients and caregivers under 55, and we need your voice to get it right. If this is your reality, join our focus group by clicking the link in our bio.

Wind, rain, sun... and 1,100 km later. 7 Days: Cycling for Survival brought together a community like no other — riders, volunteers, sponsors, donors, and supporters who gave everything to change pancreatic cancer outcomes.

The ride is over, but our mission continues.

We’re still racing toward our $400,000 goal — because awareness alone won’t save lives. Every dollar gets us closer to making pancreatic cancer survival a reality.
