Our Aims
Pancreatic Cancer UK is the only national charity fighting
pancreatic cancer on all fronts: support, information, campaigning,
research.
We are striving for a long and good life for everyone diagnosed
with pancreatic cancer.
Through our dedicated pancreatic cancer support and information
service we:
- provide easy access to the best and most up-to-date information
on pancreatic cancer
- run discussion forums for pancreatic cancer patients, their
carers and families to enable them to share experiences, advice and
inspiration
- provide individual support via email and telephone
In addition we:
- fund research and other projects of benefit to patients and
their families
- raise awareness of pancreatic cancer, particularly amongst GPs,
policy makers and politicians and the general public, providing a
powerful campaigning voice for all people living with pancreatic
cancer, and their families
The aim of Study for Survival
In late 2010 the charity launched Pancreatic Cancer UK's Study
for Survival, the first ever comprehensive mapping of pancreatic
cancer across the UK. The Study's aim is to identify what
needs to happen to improve survival rates and quality of life of
everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. Working in
partnership with both Dr Foster Intelligence and the National
Cancer Intelligence Network, the Study has involved the views and
experiences of almost 1,000 people living and working with
pancreatic cancer across the UK.
