The Pancare Foundation is a not-for-profit organization based in Heidelberg, Victoria, established in 2011 to address cancers of the upper gastrointestinal system, including pancreatic, liver, biliary, oesophageal, and stomach cancers. It aims to increase awareness, advance research, and provide practical support for people affected by these cancers. The organization emphasizes support across the patient journey, from diagnosis through treatment, recovery, and bereavement, recognizing the impact on families and communities. Pancare serves patients and their families as its primary audience and develops programs that adapt to changing patient needs. A notable recent development is a partnership with the Gut Cancer Foundation to create a support service for New Zealanders affected by upper GI cancers, indicating its regional expansion. The foundation has also launched research initiatives, such as the Smith-Barrett Fellowship to support an early-career researcher in biliary cancer.
