This October, the Abdominal Cancers Alliance joined advocates, researchers, policymakers, and patient leaders from across the country at the NORD Breakthrough Summit 2025 in Washington, D.C.

Our work to raise awareness about abdominal cancer diagnoses and what patients can do about them doesn't stop. We sustain this effort all year long - and you can help us make it even bigger. Whether you join us for Gastric and Pancreatic Cancers Awareness Month in November, help us spread Hope through the holiday season, or help spread the word throughout the year, your voice is powerful!

Raise awareness on social media, join peer groups and share about the Alliance and its work, distribute literature about abdominal cancers and treatment options, host a party or get-together for the cause, and consider joining our peer-to-peer awareness campaign - there are lots of ways you can be an Ally!

We recently launched a new initiative to mobilize members of our community who want to help more patients and families learn about abdominal cancers and treatment options that can help extend and improve their lives! So far, our advocates have shared our message with hundreds of network connections the Alliance could never reach alone, and they've raised more than $15,000 to fuel our work raising awareness!
