We are the world leaders pioneering the advancement of FA research in pursuit of better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for FA and FA-associated cancers. 

Research is the key to one day making FA a manageable condition. We’ve come a long way and individuals with FA are living longer. But our mission is not complete. Through research, advocacy, support and education,  we continue to take major steps forward in addressing our biggest problem yet: cancer.

The Path Starts Here

Research

Research is the first step towards finding better treatments, and ultimately a cure, for FA and its associated cancers. By investing in research and people, the Fanconi Cancer Foundation fosters the innovation necessary to enhance clinical care. We are committed to preventing, detecting, and treating cancer in individuals with FA, recognizing that understanding FA-associated cancers can inform cancer treatment beyond our immediate community.
