Help accelerate the future of desmoid tumor research.
The Accelerate Campaign is the DTRF’s community fundraising movement designed to speed the pace of discovery and drive progress toward better treatments, improved outcomes, and ultimately, a cure for desmoid tumors.
Over the past 20 years, the DTRF has funded a global portfolio of studies that are transforming how desmoid tumors are understood and treated. This investment has helped build critical momentum in a historically underfunded rare disease by advancing new insights and therapeutic approaches that were not possible just a decade ago.
Today, with promising breakthroughs on the horizon, we are at an inflection point. A continued investment in research can accelerate progress in ways that directly impact patients’ lives.
