Desmoid tumors and the DTRF made the spotlight at the 2024 Annual Meeting for the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago on Saturday. DTRF Executive Director Lynne Hernandez served as a faculty member this year at an educational session entitled “Leveraging Successful Partnerships to Improve Global Health Outcomes.”
Her talk focused on the critical role of patient advocacy organizations in building relationships between patients and physicians. The Foundation is grateful to our community of stakeholders— especially patients and doctors— for trusting us to serve as advocates in the space.
We thank ASCO, along with session chair Dr. Matias Chacon from IAF (Instituto Alexander Fleming) and SELNET and Denisse Evans from The Life Raft Group for their collaboration on this important session.
