It offers Patient Services case managers, in English and Spanish, on treatment options, clinical trials and nutrition; states that it has invested more than $200 million in research; and says its advocacy helped raise the National Cancer Institute's annual pancreatic cancer funding more than 12-fold since 1999. Its stated goal is 20 per cent five-year survival by 2030. It is a different organisation from Pancreatic Cancer Action, a UK charity. The IRS Business Master File lists revenue of about $42 million for the tax year ending June 2025.","asOf":"2026-11-04","links":[{"label":"About PanCAN","url":"https://pancan.org/about-us/"},{"label":"IRS record (via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer)","url":"https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/330841281"}],"tags":[],"related":["pancan"],"cancers":["pancreatic"],"sections":[],"technologies":[],"targets":[],"drugs":[],"companies":[],"institutions":[],"pathways":[],"terms":[],"trials":["precision-promise"],"people":[],"bottlenecks":[],"keyPapers":[],"journals":[],"dependsOn":[],"notes":[],"city":"El Segundo, CA","country":"US","lat":33.919,"lng":-118.416,"institutionType":"consortium","website":"https://pancan.org","programs":["PanCAN Patient Services case management","Research grants and PanCAN-led research initiatives","Federal research funding advocacy","PurpleStride community events"]},"route":"/institutions/pancreatic-cancer-action-network/","neighbours":{"collection":[{"id":"pancan","kind":"collection","name":"Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN)","route":"/collections/pancan/"}],"cancer":[{"id":"pancreatic","kind":"cancer","name":"Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma","route":"/cancers/pancreatic/"}],"trial":[{"id":"precision-promise","kind":"trial","name":"Precision Promise","route":"/trials/precision-promise/"}]}}
