Welcome to the National Leiomyosarcoma Foundation

Providing education, advocacy, support, and research for the LMS Community as we move forward in the quest for the cure.

Leiomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that originates in smooth tissue and can occur anywhere in the body. Research is under-funded and your donation makes a difference. Together, we are moving forward in search of a cure.

NEWLY DIAGNOSED?

At the request of the NLMSF, an LMS survivor/NLMSF supporter wants you to know that there is hope and a way forward.

“Where Purpose Meets Progress – accelerating progress for Leiomyosarcoma research, through advancing collaborative priorities of the research community and the patient communities served by the NLMSF.”

Tembi selected the NLMSF as the technical advisor resource for this project.
