Headquartered in Wisconsin and serving families around the globe, No Stomach For Cancer (NSFC) is a worldwide leader in raising awareness, advancing stomach cancer education and supporting individuals and families affected by all forms of stomach cancer. The 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has a mission to support research and unite the caring power of people worldwide affected by stomach cancer.
In 2009, after losing two family members to stomach cancer and learning about the CDH1 genetic mutation that increases the risk of developing stomach cancer, Karen Chelcun Schreiber founded NSFC. The goal was to advance awareness and education about stomach cancer, including Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC), provide a support network for affected families and support research efforts for early detection, screening and prevention of stomach cancer.
One of NSFC’s key priorities is stomach cancer awareness. NSFC shares information with the general public and within the medical community to promote earlier stomach cancer diagnoses and improve survival rates. We distribute facts and information on stomach cancer’s prevalence and impact through our website, resources, educational events, fundraisers, public relations, media outreach and Stomach Cancer Awareness Month. Understanding stomach cancer symptoms and risk factors, including the hereditary risks associated with Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC), helps to save lives.
