Appendicure

Appendicure is a patient-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing research, education, and advocacy for appendiceal cancers. Founded in 2024 by patients and caregivers who couldn’t find the support and information they needed, Appendicure exists to accelerate progress against these rare and often-overlooked cancers. We build and maintain a patient registry to power research, connect patients and families to accurate education and clinical trial opportunities, and partner with leading researchers and institutions to improve diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for people living with appendiceal cancer.
