Pancreatic Cancer UK has launched the Demand Survival Now campaign, calling on all political parties to commit to doubling survival for pancreatic cancer and the other less survivable cancers in their manifesto ahead of the next General Election.

Over the last fifty years, successive governments have failed to make pancreatic cancer a priority. Because of this, in 2024, half of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer are still dying within three months. While other countries have made progress, people in the UK with this disease are being left behind. But with political action this General Election, we can change this. 

Our campaign is asking our supporters across the UK to get in touch with their local MPs to ask them to support people with pancreatic cancer. Change can be achieved through our three key asks:

1. Investing at least £35m a year into pancreatic cancer research to bring about breakthroughs in early diagnosis and new treatments,

2. Treating pancreatic cancer as an emergency, so everyone can get diagnosed within 21 days,

3. Doubling the number of people getting potentially life-saving treatment within 21 days of diagnosis.

Below is further information on the campaign and what we’re calling for. Please share

Thanks so much for your support with the campaign.
