Deadliest Cancers Coalition

The Deadliest Cancers Coalition is a collaboration of national non-profit organizations focused on addressing policy issues related to our nation’s most lethal, or recalcitrant, cancers, defined as those that have five-year relative survival rates below 50 percent. It was established in 2008 by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network and other patient advocacy organizations and professional societies.

Based in the United States. Focus: cancers with five-year survival under 50%.

Policy coalition for recalcitrant cancers (5-year survival under 50%); not patient-facing; members provide support.

The opening description is taken from the organisation’s own website. The rest is compiled from coalition directories and charity registers.
