• The Foundation was founded by Alan and Barbara Neibauer. Barbara was diagnosed with thymic carcinoma and unfortunately passed away in the fall of 2005. Alan and Barbara have done amazing things with scarce resources and have provided support to hundreds of patients and their families. We should all strive to treat people as warmly and openly as Alan and Barbara have treated thymic cancer patients.
• The Foundation:
- Is dedicated to helping patients with all forms of thymic-related cancers and malignancies.
- Collects and shares information regarding the treatment, prognosis, and causes of thymic-related cancers and carcinomas, and making this information available at no charge.
- Identifies the various modes of treatment and promotes research into other modes.
