Our mission is to create a world where every patient with Castleman disease has an effective treatment or cure that extends their survival and improves their quality of life–
But we can’t do it alone.
The CDCN needs your help to find a cure for Castleman disease (CD). Patients are uniquely able to fight back against their disease by donating a blood or tissue sample for research and by donating their medical records to the CD registry. Patients & loved ones affected by CD can also get involved by contributing ideas for future CD research and by raising funds for CD research via our Castleman Warrior Program.
