Pancreatic Cancer Action Scotland is dedicated to the people of Scotland whose lives have been touched by pancreatic cancer and associated tumours.
In 2020 Pancreatic Cancer Action (PCA) and Pancreatic Cancer Scotland (PCS) merged to become one organisation, with our shared vision and determination to make the 2020’s the Decade of Change for the world’s toughest cancer.
Our merger is a commitment to the people of Scotland, and the UK, of a stronger united force, pulling together to take determined action to change the numbers and improve the outcomes for everyone affected by pancreatic cancer.
