The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Facts & Figures 2023, released last week, reports that the five-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer is now 12%, an increase of one percentage point from last year.
Project Purple, a national nonprofit dedicated to empowering the fight against pancreatic cancer, is launching the Pancreatic Cancer Research Recovery Support Grant. The initiative provides up to two years of bridge or rescue funding for promising pancreatic cancer research projects that were disrupted due to administrative funding policy changes at major federal agencies such as the NIH, the Department of Defense, or the National Science Foundation.
