Action and Impact. Pancreatic Cancer Action restored the use of Abraxane® for pancreatic cancer patients.

When Abraxane® was removed from NHS England’s list, we refused to accept it.

40,000 voices joined our fight.

Because of this action, Abraxane® was reinstated, and it’s still helping patients across the country today. 💜
