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.
Thank you for your support
