Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation
Non-profit OrganizationsIllinois, United States2-10 Employees
Our mission is to serve as a catalyst for the early diagnosis and ultimate cure of Pancreatic Cancer. Our Goals: 1. Advance the development of early detection: Just as there are early detection tests for Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, and Colon Cancer, we support research that works to develop a similar diagnostic test for Pancreatic Cancer in its earliest stage, when it's most treatable. 2. Fund medical research at leading clinical and academic centers: The number of scientific investigators with a demonstrated focus on Pancreatic Cancer is limited, relative to other cancers. We raise money for top-tier research institutions that can attract more scientists dedicated to Pancreatic Cancer research. 3. Provide resources for Pancreatic Cancer patients, and their loved ones: It's not always easy to find information about Pancreatic Cancer. The Rolfe Foundation provides connections to people and places for answers about the disease.
