Dupuytren's Disease needs better treatment options

Dupuytren's Disease is a progressive fibroproliferative condition that affects millions of hands worldwide. Currently, there is no cure. People affected by Dupuytren's need two things:

1. A safe and humane method of straightening fingers bent by the condition.
2. A safe and sustainable method of preventing disease progression: a cure.

Currently, progress is being made for the former, but the greater goal is the latter.

The Dupuytren Foundation and the Dupuytren Society were independently established to promote efforts to find better options for those affected by Dupuytren's Disease. The 2010 Dupuytren Symposium is a joint effort by these organizations to foster collaboration agross the global community of patients, researchers and health care workers, to bring together the best minds and most prominent researchers on Dupuytren’s Disease - to work for a cure.
