Their mission is to improve the survival rates of pancreatic cancer by ensuring more people are diagnosed early and in time for surgery - currently the only potential cure - and improve the quality of life of patients. Their vision is a day when everyone is diagnosed early and survives pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer has only a seven per cent survival rate and this figure has not improved significantly for over 40 years. Despite it being the fifth biggest cancer killer in the UK, pancreatic cancer receives only three per cent of overall research funding.

With a strong focus on early diagnosis, it is the charity's aim to improve survival rates through awareness, medical education, improved patient information and by funding research specifically into the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Simply, they want more people diagnosed in time for surgery, currently the only potential for a cure.
