The Histiocytosis Association of Canada is an international group of parents, patients, physicians and friends in search of a cure.
Langerhans cell histiocytosis is considered an "orphan disease," meaning it strikes too few people to generate government support of research.
Learn more about histiocytosis and support us by making a donation to fund on-going research.
The Association's goals include public and professional education, patient and family support, and stimulation and support of research.
The Association works closely with an international group of physicians, known as the Histiocyte Society, who are dedicated to studying the histiocytoses. Through this partnership, more has been learned and better treatments have been discovered.
