PANCAN spends far too much on fancy salaries esp, for execs. The ratio that goes to research is poor. It is really a fundraising machine where the great bulk of the work is done by folks who are impacted by PC. The org. exploits this very well, modeled on Komen's strategy.

I've been involved with PANCAN in one way or another for close to 4 years now. Originally as a recipient of their support when my Mom was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, then as a volunteer with the St. Louis affiliate and now as a volunteer with the San Diego affiliate. In that time, I've even had the chance to meet the founder of the organization. Every part of PANCAN with which I've interacted has been top-notch.
The Great!

Continue to raise more funding, especially through lobbying Congress so that Pancreatic Cancer with its 6% 5 year survival rate can someday receive similar funding as other deadly cancers while achieving similar 5 year survival rates to those cancers.
