The Caring for Carcinoid Foundation funds carcinoid research that will unlock the genetic causes of carcinoid and lead to new, targeted therapies. We crafted a 3-step Research Road Map with our Board of Scientific Advisors to guide all funding decisions: • Step 1: Genomic and proteomic research to unlock the genetic mutations that cause carcinoid • Step 2: Molecular pathway research to determine how carcinoid tumors multiply and metastasize in the body • Step 3: Clinical research to identify and develop new, genetically-targeted drugs The Caring for Carcinoid Foundation funds all three steps in parallel to discover a carcinoid cure as quickly as possible.
