Commit to join DTRF and patients from all over the country for DTRF's Annual Patient Meeting on September 21st and Running for Answers 5K Run/Walk on September 22nd in Philadelphia.

 

The DTRF Annual Patient Meeting is the premier patient education event hosted by the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation. Featuring talks by expert researchers and clinicians from around the world, the Patient Meeting offers you the chance to learn about recent cutting-edge research and the best treatment options for desmoid tumors. 

 

Many patients share that their favorite part of the Patient Meeting is connecting with other patients with similar tumor sites and common journeys.

 

The day after the Patient Meeting, you'll rally with your friends and family, along with new friends at the Running for Answers 5K Run/Walk!

 

After leaving RFA weekend, you will feel more empowered through education and connection.
