Dedicated to Discovering a Cure for Carcinoid Cancer
The mission of the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation (CFCF) is to discover a cure for carcinoid cancer and related neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and to eliminate the suffering of patients, families, and caregivers affected by NETs. In addition to research, CFCF provides support to patients and their loved-ones through its award-winning website (www.caringforcarcinoid.org), E-Updates, patient education materials, phone support, and outreach programs.
100% of the funds raised will go towards the first large-scale genome study, led by Dr. Meyerson. Using the most powerful methods available, Dr. Meyerson and his team will identify which genes are altered in carcinoid cancer and then compare these genes’ sequences to genes from normal tissue. Ultimately, this study may lead to new therapies “personalized” to each patient’s specific mutations as well as earlier detection and diagnosis and strategies for prevention.
Please visit our website www.caringforcarcinoid.org or contact us at 617-848-3977 to learn more about this exciting new resource for patients.
CFCF supports all carcinoid and related NET patients, families, and friends!
Cancer touches all of us, and we must stop this disease in its tracks. Every dollar we raise is another step along the road to finding cures for cancer. Please support our efforts by giving generously and help reach the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
