The Chordoma Foundation works to improve the lives of those affected by chordoma - a rare and tenacious bone cancer - and is leading the search for a cure. Started in 2007 by patients and families determined to create a better future for those affected by this devastating disease, the Foundation offers a suite of services to help patients get appropriate treatment, overcome practical challenges, and get emotional support. To advance the search for a cure, the Foundation strategically initiates and funds research, facilitates communication and collaboration among researchers and drug companies, and supplies the research community with critical biological resources.
