Organisation Profile

The National Leiomyosarcoma Foundation (NLMSF) was founded in 1999, by a caregiver, in support of his wife's LMS diagnosis.  The focus of the Foundation: A resource for the LMS community of patients, families, and caregivers experiencing leiomyosarcoma (LMS) – a sarcoma subtype, affecting connective and smooth muscle tissue.
The Foundation hosts multiple onsite patient-family education symposia throughout the United States annually. The NLMSF also hosts monthly virtual Learning Curves Workshops: https://nlmsf.org/events/ encompassing the Patient-Caregiver Advocacy Roundtable and the Survivors Inspire Peer Network - bothoffering the opportunity to become aware of treatment and research updates, as well as receiving support and guidance for quality of life in survivorship during and after treatment is completed. Short educational podcasts are also available https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PYegrpmcadTdhFfOwS6ybESuePyA6Yj04Y9aQz_gD3U/edit
