Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation

Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation Pancreatic cancer is the 4th leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States.

Rolfe Pancreatic Cancer Foundation is dedicated to providing personal support to those affected by pancreatic cancer through tailored resources, connections and education, and funding for early detection research. Over 43,000 Americans are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer each year and sadly, only 4% will survive five years. Yet in 2010, the National Cancer Institute allocated only 2% of its funding to pancreatic cancer research.

🚨 Major pancreatic cancer advancement announced at ASCO 2026.

In the RASolute 302 clinical trial, the investigational drug daraxonrasib extended median survival from 6.7 months to 13.2 months for patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer—and reduced the risk of death by 60% compared to chemotherapy. Experts are calling it a "game changer" and a potential new standard of care.

The University of Chicago participated in the study, with Dr. Ardaman Shergill helping lead the local trial site. Dr. Shergill is a trusted medical expert who regularly meets with Rolfe Foundation patients to discuss treatment options and clinical trials, helping connect patients to emerging research.
