Every two years, The Life Raft Group (LRG)* hosts Life Fest, a unique event that brings together GIST (gastrointestinal stromal tumor) patients and caregivers to learn, connect, and stay informed on the latest developments that can impact their treatment journey.
At Life Fest 2026, the event will expand significantly. In addition to GIST programming, the Liposarcoma Support Network (LSN) will introduce a dedicated educational track for liposarcoma patients and caregivers.
Liposarcoma participants will have access to sessions led by leading sarcoma experts from top centers of excellence, covering essential topics such as liposarcoma basics, treatment options, clinical trials, lifestyle strategies, and nutrition. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage directly with doctors, participate in Q&A panels, and connect with a supportive community of fellow patients and caregivers.
Registration information, hotel block and airline discount information to come.
*The Life Raft Group (LRG) oversees four patient-focused programs—gastrointestinal stromal tumor (the LRG), liposarcoma (LSN), and tenosynovial giant cell and giant cell tumor (TGCT Support & GCT Support)—uniting these rare cancer communities to advance education, support, advocacy, and research.
