About Pancare Foundation

Dramatically improving survival and support for upper gastrointestinal cancers.
 
We are the leading organisation inspiring hope, raising awareness, supporting families and funding research for upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. With one of the lowest survival rates out of all the major cancers, it’s our mission to improve survival and support for Australians diagnosed with pancreatic, liver, stomach, biliary and oesophageal cancers – from the point of diagnosis to treatment and beyond.
 
Our dedicated dedicated support, resource and information service, PanSupport, is available to all families impacted by pancreatic, liver, stomach, biliary and oesophageal cancers.
 
Our friendly team are dedicated specialists in upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer care and are available to support patients and their family in a variety of ways on their cancer journey. The PanSupport team offers practical ways to help; from coping with a diagnosis, understanding treatment options, managing symptoms or side effects from treatment to nurturing their emotional health.

  • Telehealth Upper GI Cancer Support Nurse Service
  • My Cancer Care Kit that includes handbooks on living with cancer & dietary guidelines
  • One-on-one wellbeing counselling
  • Online and face-to-face support groups
