Pancreatic Cancer
Registries
In this age of molecular
biology and armed with new understandings about the role that
genes play in pancreatic cancer, familial registries are increasingly
a powerful resource to help gain a better understanding of the
disease - and hence better detection or treatment possibilities.
We have been able to identify and list about fifteen cancer registries worldwide that are specific to cancer of the pancreas…. For more information please click here.

Advocacy
Pancreatic cancer
is the most virulent of the major cancers; it is also
the least funded of the major cancers. A combination with
terrible consequences.
Cancer is the second most common cause of death in the developed world, behind cardiovascular disease. Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer mortality (behind lung cancer, colorectal cancer and breast cancer). It is the third most common cause of cancer death in men and the fifth in women.
250 people in North America and Europe will die TODAY from pancreatic cancer. (90,000 deaths per year).
The U.S. National Cancer Institute funds pancreatic cancer research at shockingly low levels (year 2003-04 figures). Pancreatic cancer research receives (per mortality):
10%
of the funding of breast cancer (but causes 78% of the mortality)
35% of the funding of prostate
cancer (but causes more mortality)
29% of the funding of colorectal
cancer (but causes 55% of the mortality)
Pancreatica.org continues to support legislative and other effort aimed at increasing the funding support for pancreatic cancer treatment and research at the U.S. Federal level and at the States level.
