Answer» What is Pancreatic Cancer Action Network mean?

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) is a United States-based 501(c)(3) charity that funds research, provides patient/caregiver support, conducts community outreach and advocates for increased federal research funding for those affected by pancreatic cancer.

Since the disease is projected to become the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. around 2020, the organization established a goal, called the “Vision of Progress,” to double pancreatic cancer survival by 2020. The nonprofit seeks to fulfill the goal by spreading greater awareness and increasing funds for research to improve the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.

One way PanCAN raises awareness and funds is through the 5K walk/run event, PurpleStride. The events include more than 80,000 participants in nearly 60 communities in the United States, which are organized by local volunteer affiliates.
