Children's Tumor Foundation

The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) is the drug discovery engine for NF. Everything we do is to bring treatments to patients as we work toward a cure. By connecting patients, doctors, scientists, and pharma, we drive treatments, advance care, and deliver results for millions affected by neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis, collectively referred to as NF. Our patient-first collaborative approach accelerates drug development and brings life-changing therapies to patients faster, driven by our mission to end NF.

The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) is a global nonprofit organization that drives research, expands knowledge, and advances care for individuals living with neurofibromatosis (NF) and schwannomatosis—genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves. It functions as a "drug discovery engine," connecting patients, doctors, and scientists to accelerate the development of life-changing treatments. Our mission is to drive research, expand knowledge, and advance care for the NF community.
