pancreatic cancer action network advance research. support patients. create hope.2
All of us at the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network understand the many
challenges facing those affected by pancreatic cancer, as well as the
impact this disease has on family members and caregivers. But we also
know there is reason to be hopeful.
Our comprehensive approach to fighting pancreatic cancer is unique
and effective. We raise money for direct private funding of research and
advocate for more aggressive federal research funding. We make sure the
latest research and treatment options reach pancreatic cancer patients
through our no-cost Patient and Liaison Services (PALS) program and we
support a robust, all-volunteer network focused on community outreach
programs. This comprehensive approach placed a national spotlight on
our organization over the last year that brought more interest, new energy
and focused determination toward making scientific progress.
This annual report reviews our accomplishments in Fiscal Year 2007-2008.
We hope you feel a strong sense of hope and optimism for the future. This
sense of hope would not be possible without your unmatched passion and
enthusiasm for this cause.
Thank you. We sincerely appreciate everything that you do for the
pancreatic cancer community.
Sincerely,
Jason Kuhn Julie Fleshman, JD, MBA Chairman of the Board President & CEO

aBout the pancreatic cancer action networkThe Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, Inc. was founded in 1999 to
focus national attention on a disease that is the fourth leading cause
of cancer death in the United States but receives far less consideration
than cancers of comparable severity. Initially created as a grassroots
organization, the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network has become the
national leader in the quest to defeat pancreatic cancer. The Pancreatic
Cancer Action Network fulfills its mission through a comprehensive
strategy that combines directly funding research, generating public
policy, providing patient services, and extending community outreach
and education nationwide. The organization stands as a beacon of hope
for the pancreatic cancer community by providing leadership and unity
in the urgent fight to find a cure.

with the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) through a rigorous peer-review
system to ensure selection of the highest-quality science.
THE SCIENTIFIC SUMMIT ON PANCREATIC CANCERThe Scientific Summit was convened to answer important questions about pancreatic
cancer science, identify gaps in understanding and promising approaches to studying the
disease, and propose collaborations amongst scientists at different institutions to produce
discoveries that have the greatest potential to benefit patients. Discussion topics included:
cancer stem cells, mechanism-based therapeutics, novel therapeutics, early detection,
molecular profiling of tumors, and familial pancreatic cancer. The white paper generated by
the summit provided summaries of the major themes, and informed the community about
the challenges and opportunities in the research field.
THE NATIONAL PLAN TO ADVANCE PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCHFurther analysis of the research challenges and opportunities led our esteemed Scientific
Advisory Board to develop The National Plan to Advance Pancreatic Cancer Research, a
multi-level action plan that represents their professional judgment of what is necessary
to mount a strong, sustainable program to make progress in pancreatic cancer. We
are asking for an unprecedented$170million in federal funding to carry outThe Plan.
Additionally,wewillraise$25millioninprivatefundingoverthenextthreeyearstosupport
pancreatic cancer research. The merging of these funds will support RAISE THE CURE,
a comprehensive strategy and action plan to put pancreatic cancer research on the fast
track to finding a cure.
“we brought together the best scientific minds from around the globe for an unprecedented meeting to develop a comprehensive, strategic direction for our future scientific efforts. one of the many exciting results of the meeting can be seen in the national plan to advance pancreatic cancer research.” - Jason Kuhn, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Pancreatic Cancer Action Network

government aFFairs & advocacy Our Government Affairs & Advocacy program, based in Washington, DC, is focused on
educating elected officials about pancreatic cancer and the need to increase the amount
of research funding dedicated to this disease.
GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS HIGHLIGHTS IN 2007-2008:
• Since the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network’s advocacy program was founded in
1999, we have made increasing federal funding for pancreatic cancer research our top
priority. Our efforts have contributed to a cumulative 324% increase in the National Cancer
Institute’s(NCI)pancreaticcancerresearchbudgetduringthelastnineyears.
• With the help of our highly esteemed Scientific Advisory Board and Randy Pausch,

“people in research labs can do miraculous things if they are given the resources to do it. every day matters right now.” - Excerpt from a public service announcement filmed with Randy Pausch for the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network in November 2007
PhD, we embarked upon a new path and
developed an action plan and the first-
ever substantive legislation focused on
increasing pancreatic cancer research
funding. Dr. Pausch helped us launch The
National Plan to Advance Pancreatic Cancer
Research in January 2008 and then returned
to Congress to testify on our behalf in front
of the U.S. House of Representatives’
Appropriations Committee in March 2008.
• InMarch 2008, we hosted our second
annual Pancreatic Cancer Advocacy Day
in Washington, DC. Approximately 900
people participated, either in person or
through our National Call-In, enabling us
to reach nearly 400 members of Congress.
As a result of our Advocacy Day and
other efforts, the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees sent strong
directions to the NCI to make pancreatic
cancer research a higher priority.
• This year, we also reached out to our
advocacy colleagues at other organizations
focused on the most lethal cancers.
Following pancreatic cancer, the most
lethal cancers are ovarian, myeloma, brain,
stomach, esophageal, lung, and liver. A
coalition was formed to advocate that
Congress create a new research program
at the NCI to specifically focus on the most
lethal cancers.
• This year, 4,741 advocates sent
23,729 email messages to 534 members
of Congress. This represented a 101%
increase in the amount of advocates
and a 106% increase in the number of
Congressional contacts made compared
to the previous fiscal year.
Randy Pausch, PhD, testifies before Congress on March 13, 2008, on behalf of the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network about the need to increase research funding for the disease.
