On April 11, CFCF co-hosted, along with our partner, the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Foundation for the Arts and Sciences, our annual Research Symposium at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research here in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation's Patient Education Event at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles on March 17. The event exceeded our wildest expectations, more than doubling the attendance of last year's seminar at Cedars-Sinai. Despite the difficult weather, nearly 200 members of the carcinoid/ neuroendocrine cancer community joined us for this year's event. Some traveled hundreds or even thousands of miles across the country to share experiences and learn more about the current research and treatment options.

We are thrilled to report that the Los Angeles Patient Education Conference has exceeded maximum capacity and will be our largest event for the neuroendocrine cancer community to-date!

With the cooperation and assistance from the terrific staff at Cedars-Sinai, we have been able to move the event to the Intercontinental Hotel - Los Angeles Century City, 2151 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, CA.  Read on for updates.

Hap and Mary Rowan have one mission: to help others fighting neuroendocrine cancers. Their plan is to increase knowledge about neuroendocrine cancers by officially proclaiming November 10 as “NET Cancer Awareness Day” in their home state of New Jersey.
