Stanford University is coalescing existing research activities on pancreas cancer to form a Pancreas Cancer Center. This center will expedite application of emerging technologies and the development of molecular targeted therapies all focused on pancreas cancer. Of course, our wonderful Dr. George Fisher, Jr. is involved with all this and setting up this fund in Patrick's name.

Two major national organizations – the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and the Lustgarten Foundation – are fighting pancreatic cancer through private fundraising and advocacy for better government support. Earlier this year, the first legislation dedicated to improving pancreatic cancer research funding was introduced in the House of Representatives.
