PNOC DIPG / DMG Patient Family Informational Webinar, Sept 27, 2023

The Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC) is an international consortium with centers within the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. We are dedicated to bringing new therapies to children and young adults with brain tumors. Our goal is to improve outcomes by translating the latest findings in brain tumor biology into better treatments for these children.

Help change the course of history for kids diagnosed with DIPG / DMG. Support PNOC’s DMG ACT Research Group which is focused on advancing research and new treatment options for diffuse midline glioma (DMG) tumors, including high grade gliomas (HGG) and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas (DIPG). Donations can be made here:: https://fundraising.pnocfoundation.or...

A huge thank you to all the foundations, patient families and philanthropists who are helping to drive forward PNOC's research and treatment options.
