Patient Registry
The DTRF Patient Registry is a collaborative effort between the Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation (DTRF) and the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) to study desmoid tumors. The DTRF was selected by NORD to create the DTRF Patient Registry as part of a cooperative project between NORD and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that supports research on rare diseases and how they progress over time – natural history studies.
The primary aim of the DTRF Patient Registry at DTRF.iamrare.org is to conduct a prospectively-planned and efficient natural history study (NHS) that will result in the most comprehensive understanding of the disease and its course and pace over time.
