Eye Cancer Foundation

Established in 1998, The Eye Cancer Foundation is an educational and supportive resource for eye cancer patients, their families, and physicians. Their mission is two-fold: one part focused on multi-centered research of new diagnostic treatments for eye cancer research, the other focused on providing much needed, world-wide patient support services. As they want to help children and families around the world diagnosed with ocular tumors, macular degeneration, and related ophthalmic conditions, they specifically support the following: they provide eye cancer specialists for unserved and underserved countries, coordinate international cooperative evaluation of new methods of diagnosis and treatment, and empower patients to find the resources to improve their lives. The Foundation also sponsors 6-month retinoblastoma (RB) fellowships for candidates from unserved or underserved countries as well as travel grants.
