About The Foundation
The Foundation for Thymic Cancer Research (FTCR) was founded in 2003 by Barbara Neibauer after she was diagnosed with a rare ectopic thymic carcinoma in her neck. Her surgeon warned her that very little was known about her cancer and what little information could be found was often confusing. Barbara passed away from her cancer in September 2005 but the Foundation continues to work toward her vision.
