PANCAID’s 3rd General Assembly Meeting

We’re looking forward to PANCAID’s 3rd General Assembly Meeting later this week in Brussels, Belgium! 🇧🇪

The meeting is a key moment for all partners to come together, review our progress, and plan the next steps in our mission to improve early detection of pancreatic cancer.

We’ll kick off with a Stakeholder Event at the European Parliament, bringing together key policymakers, patients and experts to discuss the importance of joint efforts on early detection of pancreatic cancer.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

PANCAID’s 2024 in Review: A Year of Impact and Progress

As the year comes to a close, let’s take a moment to reflect on our achievements of 2024. This year has been one of progress, collaboration, and impactful work in the journey against pancreatic cancer. Here are some of the highlights:

Four Scientific Review Articles Published

PANCAID published four comprehensive review articles in renowned journals, covering topics:

  • The potential of multibiomarker panels in liquid biopsies for early pancreatic cancer detection.
  • The importance of economic evaluations in pancreatic cancer screening.
  • Insights from screening high-risk populations and how this informs approaches for the general population.
  • The role of incidental findings in pancreatic cancer diagnosis and how liquid biopsy could revolutionize the field.

Our Video Series: Raising Awareness

We launched a video series to make complex information about pancreatic cancer and the project accessible to a broader audience. From explaining “What is pancreatic cancer?” to discussing Liquid Biopsy, these videos are to help spread awareness about this challenging disease.

Collaborative Efforts

2024 was also a year of collaboration. From exploring opportunities for joint dissemination activities with other Horizon Europe projects to everyday collaboration with our partners, these partnerships strengthen our mission and amplify the impact of our work.

As we look ahead to 2025, we are filled with gratitude for the support and engagement of our community, partners, and followers. Together, we are making strides toward a future where pancreatic cancer can be detected earlier and treated more effectively. PANCAID wishes each and everyone a wonderful holiday season and a successful start to the new year.

About

PANCAID is an international research consortium aiming to develop a minimally invasive blood test using liquid biopsy to detect pancreatic cancer to facilitate early detection of the cancer and its precursors. With 16 partners + 1 associated partner from eight countries, the project has received funding for five years to potentially revolutionize current pancreatic cancer diagnosis methods and improve patient outcomes.

Our vision

PANCAID strives to provide a minimally invasive blood test using a comprehensive panel of liquid biopsy diagnostics (LBx) for early detection of pancreatic cancer and its precursor lesions.

Why it matters

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant neoplasm that originates in the cells of the pancreas, an organ located in the abdominal cavity behind the stomach. It is known to be one of the most aggressive and deadly types of cancer, with a high mortality rate. Pancreatic cancer is often difficult to detect in its early stages, as it tends to show minimal or no symptoms until it reaches advanced stages. This makes it challenging to diagnose and treat, and contributes to its poor prognosis.
