American Cancer Society’s Cancer Facts & Figures 2023, released today, reports that the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer has reached a new all-time high of 12%, an increase of one percentage point from last year.
This is the first time since 2017 that the survival rate has gone up two years in a row, a promising upward trend that points to continued progress in the fight against this tough disease. It also represents lives saved: A one percentage point increase means that 641 more loved ones will enjoy life's moments five years after their pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
You make this progress possible.
Julie Fleshman, JD, MBA, PanCAN’s President and CEO, speaks out about the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer increasing to 12% in 2023 in this short video.
Over the past decade, the five-year survival rate has gone from 6% to 12%. You’ve helped drive this increase by supporting PanCAN’s large-scale research initiatives, advocacy efforts and programs to help patients navigate their cancer journey. That momentum brings hope, but there’s more work to be done.
Without you, PanCAN wouldn’t be able to be there for patients and their families. You fund the progress we make – it’s that simple. PanCAN receives no government funding and relies on the generosity of donors like you to keep our critical programs running. We’re grateful to have you by our side.
Now our most important work lies ahead of us. Let’s work together to achieve our bold goal of reaching a five-year survival rate of 20% by 2030. It’s in our sight and you have the power to help us get there.
Donate today to advance lifesaving research, fund innovative clinical and scientific initiatives and support the roughly 64,000 Americans expected to be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2023. Your gift will make a difference in continuing progress.
