What is NIPANC and how can you help in the fight against pancreatic cancer?
Pancreatic cancer is a major health issue for Northern Ireland
with 266 people diagnosed in 2018.
Sadly, only 1% of those diagnosed will reach 10-year survival.
​
NIPANC is a Northern Ireland charity working to improve the outcomes of pancreatic
cancer by:
-
Increasing public understanding of this cancer
-
Promoting awareness of the cancer’s signs and symptoms by both
-
medical professionals and members of the public
-
Funding vital research
-
Supporting patients and their families
NIPANC has its roots in a group of people affected by pancreatic cancer coming
together for support and to raise funds to promote better diagnosis and treatment for
future patients.
​
​
The charity’s work brings together families who have suffered losses from pancreatic cancer, families who are currently facing a diagnosis and survivors of the disease.
NIPANC concentrates its research funding in Northern Ireland, working
collaboratively with others charities to fund vital research and promote early
diagnosis of the disease.
​
NIPANC gives a stronger voice to families affected by pancreatic cancer in Northern Ireland.
​
Together we will press for necessary priority to be given to early diagnosis;
encourage and support research into the development of new and innovative
treatments; and provide advice and support to patients and families affected by the disease.
​
Working together we can make a real difference, changing the outcomes of
pancreatic cancer and saving lives.
