Our Work

Global collaboration amplifies our voice and raises awareness of pancreatic cancer to save lives. Each year, we increase the reach of our annual World Pancreatic Cancer Day campaign and raise awareness about the symptoms and risk factors of pancreatic cancer to drive earlier detection.

By sharing best practices and leveraging expertise, we strengthen our collective impact and the impact of individual member organizations that will drive transformational change.

We have a globally diverse membership that is highly engaged and unified in its vision and purpose. Members have access to universal tools and resources for World Pancreatic Cancer Day and throughout the year. We speak with a unified voice by using consistent data and information to provide the public with accurate and up-to-date messages about pancreatic cancer. We meet face-to-face annually to share knowledge, expertise and best practices.
