Tell Congress: $1 Billion in Research Funding	Pancreatic Cancer is one of the most deadliest diseases in the United States and yet it continues to receive woefully inadequate research funding every year. Approximately 37,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year but the federal government only allocated $73.3 million in 2007 to fund research on pancreatic cancer (over $2.9 billion was allocated in federal research dollars alone for AIDS which only afflicts 40,000 new US residents each year). This inadequate funding contributes to the poor prognosis of those afflicted with this horrible disease. The average life span after diagnosis is only 6 months and 75% of those diagnosed will not survive more than one year. The 5 year survival rate is less than 5%. Patients are dying because funding priorities are not being based on science and the lethality of disease. Find more cancer research funding facts here. Join the fight against Pancreatic Cancer by *Telling Congress to Fund a Cure Now.* Demand that funding be raised to $1 billion a year. We will not settle for $1 less.
