Though the names Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (#TGCT) & Giant Cell Tumor of the Bone (GCTB) sound similar, these are distinct diseases!

Anne’s story underscores a critical need for education. about the differences between GCTB & TGCT 📣Check it out:

July is Sarcoma Awareness Month — and we’re claiming space for #TGCT!
TGCT is a connective tissue tumor that, like so many living with it, doesn’t quite fit neatly into a box. Join us in spreading awareness one story at a time!

Did you know that pediatric pts w/ diffuse #TGCT undergo an average of 3.4 surgeries? These young pts need coordinated, MD care to manage the long-term physical + emotional impact of this disease. Learn more !

As you make your #ASCO25 schedules, visit our poster on Pediatric #TGCT, an ultra-rare, under-recognized neoplasm in desperate need of progress. Pediatric TGCT mimics the adult form but lack the therapeutic advancement.

So amazing to be part of a patient community that’s so eager to contribute to research, and cool to work with coauthors who are care providers and deeply invested in patient outcomes. And of course grateful for our leader + advocate + fellow patient @stern-sydney.bsky.social and TGCT Support 🙌🙌

I was asked what accomplishment I was most proud of recently 🥹 this. Learn more about the lived experience of #TGCT - from symptom onset, diagnosis, treatment, & thereafter. TGCT is a debilitating and impactful disease from the voice of patients. Read:

Today, I received the plaque for my award back in November. It was a nice reminder that my efforts are appreciated.

Here’s to advancing rare disease research and to the FDA’s mission of protecting & promoting public health by ensuring the safety + efficacy of the medicines we all depend on. 🫶🏻

Thank you so much @ascptclinpharm.bsky.social for raising awareness for both #RareDiseaseDay and our paper! Check it out below:

Rare diseases may not always be visible. #TGCT is a good example of this! Many symptoms are only noticeable to the pt experiencing them.

For this #RareDiseaseDay, there are many deserving diseases to learn about. Take a moment to learn about TGCT at TGCTSupport.org 🫶🏻
