A message from PanCAN's President & CEO, @JulieFleshman, JD, MBA: Today, the Trump administration released its FY26 budget, proposing a $17.5 billion or 37% cut to the National Institutes of Health, which includes the National Cancer Institute. At a time when pancreatic cancer is at a pivotal point for research and treatment breakthroughs, these cuts halt researchers’ work and, more importantly, progress for patients and families. Read my letter to Congress demanding that cancer research be protected and increased – because patients can’t afford to wait: pcan.at/b340vd Thank you for being part of this powerful community. Together, we will demand more, do more, deliver more, for every individual touched by this disease today and all those who will face it tomorrow.

Today, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) signed on to a statement from One Voice Against Cancer (OVAC), a collaboration of national non-profit organizations representing millions of Americans, delivering a unified message to Congress and the White House on the need for increased cancer-related appropriations. The statement unites the cancer community in opposing recent executive actions and calling on both the Administration and members of Congress to work together to ensure that we continue to advance progress against pancreatic cancer and all other cancers.
