Our Mission is to support initiatives focused on finding treatments or therapies for PTEN Syndromes. We are your advocates working to raise awareness and accelerate research. We have achieved many goals to that end.

  • In March 2018 we hosted our first annual symposium greeting over 70 patients, caregivers, and researchers at our International Patient Symposium.IMG_8250.jpg

Research Trials

PTEN Foundation Helping Doctors

We assist researchers in showing vigor with their research by disseminating their published research to our patient community and providing them the opportunity to educate the patient community with their latest research.

How can I advocate for myself?

We suggest you familiarize yourself with the current NCCN screening guidelines for PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome.  We have provided a brochure and leaflet for you to carry to your physician visits. If you are newly diagnosed, we will connect you with certified genetic counselors familiar with PHTS
