Information and Services for Patients and Families

The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network’s Patient and Liaison Services (PALS) program is the premiere call-in information service for the pancreatic cancer community.  PALS services are available nationwide providing patients and families with extensive information about pancreatic cancer, treatment options, clinical trials, specialists, support, diet and nutrition and much more. 

PALS Associates are highly trained staff members available to help patients and families at no charge and are available by phone at 877-272-6226 or by email at pals@pancan.org M-F 7am-5pm Pacific Time.

Tell your patients and their families about our PALS program so that they may contact a PALS Associate for information and support. 

The PALS program also offers educational materials at no charge to complement the information that you provide to your patients and their families.  The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network Medical Advisory Council reviews our educational booklets for content accuracy.
