June 2026 Newsletter

June marks Uterine and Endometrial Cancer Awareness Month, a time to reflect and help raise awareness about the realities of advanced uterine and endometrial cancers. We are also excited to introduce our new Webinar Recordings Library, making it easier than ever to access educational content and expert insights from across the abdominal cancers community on your own schedule.

Looking ahead, we invite you to learn more about our upcoming Annual Golf Outing (in Maryland) and Helicopter Ball Drop (virtual), which help advance the Alliance's mission while bringing together supporters from across our community. And we invite you to join our upcoming Awareness Month Campaigns in August (appendix cancer) and September (ovarian cancers and peritoneal mesothelioma) to raise awareness about these cancers and what we can do about peritoneal spread. You'll also find a powerful survivor story from Tim, whose experience reminds us of the resilience and strength found throughout our community.

Thank you for being part of the Alliance community. We hope you enjoy and find these resources informative, inspiring, and helpful.

Updates from the Alliance

Join Our Upcoming Awareness Month Campaigns in August and September

The need for awareness, support, and mobilization is urgent. Most people - patients, caregivers, doctors, and hospitals - don’t know enough about abdominal cancers and how to treat them.

Join our campaigns this August for Appendix Cancer Awareness Month to spread the word about this rare cancer, or in September for Ovarian Cancers and Peritoneal Mesothelioma Awareness Month.

By joining with the Alliance and raising awareness, you are helping to get more patients and families to the care they need!

Stomach cancer metastasis to the peritoneum is an extremely challenging problem often associated with limited treatment options and poor outcomes.
