Pancreatic cancer organisations

The websites on cancer listed on this page are valuable sources of detailed information on cancer. They may use more technical terms, longer 'pages' and fewer images than CancerHelp UK. 

You can find details about general cancer support organisations on our general cancer organisations page. We have information about counselling organisations in the counselling section.

We fund research on all aspects of the disease from its causes, to treatment and prevention, education and psychological support for patients.
