Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PCAN) is a United States-based 501(c)(3) charity[4] that funds research,[5] provides patient support, conducts community outreach,[6] and advocates for increased federal research funding for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer. It was established in 1999, and has raised awareness for pancreatic cancer with the help of businesses and other groups.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

The network raises funds for pancreatic cancer research through its "Purple Stride" walkathons, which are organized by its affiliates in various local communities.[12][13]
