Sarcoidosis (pronounced SAR-COY-DOE-SIS)
is a potentially fatal inflammatory disease that can
appear in almost any organ in the body. Although the lungs are
affected in more than 90% of patients, the disease often attacks the
heart, eyes, central nervous system, liver and kidneys. Once thought
rare, sarcoidosis is now known to be common and affects people
worldwide. The cause remains unknown and THERE IS NO CURE. |
FSR Mission
The
Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) is the
nation’s leading nonprofit organization
dedicated to improving care for sarcoidosis
patients and to finding a cure for this disease.
We feel strongly that
rigorous and extensive scientific research will unlock the
mysteries of this disease. In the last five years we
have awarded $750,000 to support innovative research
projects which have led to an additional $1.2 million in
subsequent awards to our researchers.
