#IAmRETpositive : Who We Are
“There’s a lot of joy in the life you are given after a cancer diagnosis. It just may look a little different than the life you were expecting.”
RETpositive is a patient-driven nonprofit that aims to improve the quality of life and life expectancy of RET-positive cancer patients by raising awareness, providing patient + caregiver support, and funding medical research for RET-driven cancers.
Research is Hope
RETpositive is a patient-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit that aims to improve the quality of life and life expectancy of RET-positive cancer patients by raising awareness, providing community support and advocacy, and funding medical research for RET-driven cancer.
RET-positive cancer is caused by a mutation or abnormal re-arrangement of the RET gene. It occurs most commonly in lung cancer and several types of inherited and sporadic thyroid cancers. RET alterations also occur in an estimated 1-2% of multiple other cancers, including ovarian, pancreatic, salivary, breast, and colorectal cancers.
