About (Acpmp)Appendix Cancerpseudomyxoma Peritonei Research Foundation

(acpmp)appendix Cancerpseudomyxoma Peritonei Research Foundation centers its giving on appendix cancer and pseudomyxoma peritonei, with research awards that range from $25,000 investigator grants to $150,000 Changemaker awards. The foundation also supports educational programs for healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers, and family members affected by these diseases. Recent grants show a research-heavy approach: University of California, Irvine received $100,000 for research, while multiple medical centers and university-based investigators received $25,000 awards for appendix cancer and PMP studies. The pattern suggests a funder focused on scientific, clinical, and translational work rather than broad cancer philanthropy. Its grant programs include awards administered through the Society of Surgical Oncology, direct research grants, and travel support for conference presentation. The funded projects address appendiceal mucinous neoplasms, appendiceal adenocarcinomas, molecular characterization, tumor microenvironment, and model development. That mix places the foundation squarely in disease-specific rare cancer research, with an emphasis on work that can change understanding of diagnosis and treatment for patients with appendix cancer and PMP.

What (Acpmp)Appendix Cancerpseudomyxoma Peritonei Research Foundation Funds

In appendix cancer research, the foundation funded $100,000 to University of CA Irvine Dr Oliver Eng for research, alongside $25,000 grants to University of California Dr Andrew Lowy and Dr Shen U of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Ctr for additional research. These awards point to a strong clinical and translational orientation. For pseudomyxoma peritonei, the foundation supports projects aimed at appendiceal origin disease, including studies on molecular characterization, the tumor microenvironment, and prospective investigations and trials. It also backs early detection and diagnosis work through its Catalyst Research Grant program. Education is another stated area: the foundation supports programs for healthcare professionals, patients, caregivers, and family members about appendix cancer and PMP. It also funds travel awards for presenters attending the SSO ACT Conference, tying research support to dissemination.
