Tenosynovial giant cell tumour (TGCT) is a non-cancerous (benign) growth that forms near a joint or tendon sheath (the covering around tendons). It is a type of soft tissue tumour characterised by an overgrowth of the synovial lining. It usually causes swelling, pain, or stiffness in the affected joint.
Many sufferers of Tenosynovial giant cell tumour struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Tenosynovial giant cell tumour. We have recently created an Tenosynovial giant cell tumour resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
