In honor of Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day, the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation is reaching out to the internet community to spread the word about carcinoid and related neuroendocrine cancers.

Our goal is to unite the neuroendocrine cancer community by reaching 2,000 fans by November 10. Please ask your friends to visit us at http://www.facebook.com/CaringForCarcinoidFoundation and to click the "like" button at the top of the page.

With your help, we can increase visibility of neuroendocrine cancers and move toward a cure!  

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for approving and regulating therapies for patients for rare diseases. But how does the FDA do that? What processes are involved?

CFCF Executive Director Lauren Erb sheds some light on the FDA and two organizations working to improve its efficacy in her latest blog. To learn more about advocating on behalf of carcinoid and related neuroendocrine cancer patients, visit the Advocate for Change section of CFCF's website. 

This February, thousands of participants across the United States will hop on stationary bikes to raise vitally-needed funds for rare cancer research. CFCF has entered a team in the "Cycle for Survival" for several years now to support the research of Dr. Diane Reidy-Lagunes at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.

This year is a special treat, as Dr. Reidy-Lagunes herself will be pedaling along with Team CFCF! To learn about how you can get involved, click here.
