Get Involved With PanCAN and the Pancreatic Cancer Community

1.  Let your patients know about PanCAN's Patient and Liaison Services (PALS) program. PALS Associates provide one-on-one information and education to patients and family members, via PanCAN's toll free phone number (877-272-6226) or by email (medinfo@pancan.org). Request PALS brochures and educational booklets from PanCAN and provide them to patients and families in your hospital or clinic.  All services and educational materials are provided at no charge.

2.  If you are conducting clinical trials in pancreatic cancer, let us know about your studies.   PALS Associates can provide your trial information to potentially eligible patients.

3.  Provide an educational presentation at a local PanCAN TeamHOPE meeting. PanCAN TeamHOPE is comprised of community-based team members across the country, volunteering their time to raise awareness and educate their communities about pancreatic cancer. You can help educate volunteers and members of the community about pancreatic cancer treatments and research.

4.  Get in touch with your local PanCAN TeamHOPE and attend a meeting or event.  Contact PanCAN's National Headquarters (877-272-6226) or click here to learn about the nearest TeamHOPE.
