Did you know that Pancreatic Cancer has the lowest survival rate of all cancers?

Help us to reverse the Trend!

Pancreatic cancer is currently the 4th leading cause of death by cancer in Europe. If no action is taken, it is set to be 2nd by 20203.

Launched in July 2014 a call for action on pancreatic cancer by Members of the European Parliament has been the key driver for the activities of the platform. Since its launch, Pancreatic Cancer Europe has been developping the Pancreatic Cancer Declaration, in order to ensure real change in European policies for pancreatic cancer patients.

Patients affected with pancreatic cancer lose 98% of their healthy life expectancy at the point of diagnosis5.

Today, a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer is generally associated with a death sentence and few patients are alive one year after diagnosis, while an earlier diagnosis could help reduce the mortality of the disease. If diagnosed in time, chances of survival increase.
