About Pancreatic Cancer (PC):
Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer death in the US.
Over 43,000 people are diagnosed annually in the U.S., and about 43,000 will die within the first year. Less than 5% will survive beyond five years.
There’s no early detection test (yet).
There’s no cure (yet).
Research is our best weapon to fight this disease.
The Lustgarten Foundation, dedicated solely to pancreatic cancer research, has raised over $40 million in support of promising pancreatic cancer research. Due to underwriting by Cablevision of NY, 100% of all donations goes to PC research! The Foundation is working to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer and the research being done to fight it. They want to celebrate progress in the fight against this disease. You can help. Your support today can mean a cure tomorrow.
