The Registry
Elizabeth’s Hope is founding a national registry to encourage inter-institutional collaboration; aggregate samples of these rare and inoperable tumors across the United States, accelerating the development of clinical trials; and offer special hope for those patients whose tumors are so rare that minimal resources are directed towards elucidating their cause and treatment.
