Pancreatic Cancer Action (PCA) is a pioneering UK charity dedicated to saving lives through early diagnosis, public education, and vigorous advocacy.

Founded in 2010 by a rare pancreatic cancer survivor, our work impacts patients, families, healthcare professionals, and policymakers alike across the UK. As a leading charity in the health and cancer sectors, we are dedicated to taking action to ensure more people are diagnosed early and in time for surgery.
