Research Saves Lives

Participating is straightforward—simply decide to provide your consent before your surgery through Pattern.org. By opting to donate excess tumor tissue prior to your scheduled surgery, you play a vital role in advancing Leiomyosarcoma (LMS) research. Your tumor tissue will be dispatched to MIT’s Koch Institute, specifically the Boehm Lab, under the guidance of Dr. Jesse Boehm, the Principal Investigator. The lab’s primary emphasis will be on genomics and model derivation for leiomyosarcoma, with all research findings shared widely after de-identification.

As a patient, you have the opportunity to play a crucial role in advancing rare cancer research by participating in initiatives such as Pattern.org.
