Pancreatic cancer affects thousands of patients and their families every day, and we need to continue to fight for them. Pancreatic cancer patients need help now more than ever — the disease doesn’t stop or slow down, even during a pandemic. PurpleStride is the number-one fundraising source for PanCAN to provide support for patients and their families.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers with a five-year survival rate of just 10 percent. In 2020, an estimated 57,600 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and more than 47,000 will die from the disease, making it the third leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S.
