Mission and Goals

Our Mission:

Pancreatic Cancer Canada is committed to improving pancreatic cancer survival by fostering research and creating hope through awareness, education and  patient support.

Our focus continues to be:

Supporting research into detection, effective treatment options and ultimately, finding a cure

Raising awareness

Providing support and resources to patients and their families

Advocating for increased funding

 

Our Vision

We believe there can be a future without pancreatic cancer. This coming year, thousands of Canadians will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told there is little hope for survival.

It is our hope that through increased awareness and funding, scientists will discover a means to detect pancreatic cancer at an earlier and more treatable stage; thereby significantly improving the survival rate for patients living with pancreatic cancer.

Our Goals

To champion early detection research

To educate and create awareness about pancreatic cancer

To raise funds through various fundraisers and charitable donations to support leading edge research

To partner with leading cancer centres nationwide and share the latest information and updates  

To share our knowledge and increase our effectiveness in Canada through our website and various mediums such as print and radio

To increase our network of volunteers and donors nationally and set up affiliates throughout Canada
