Conference Objectives

Started in 2017, the annual MIB Agents FACTOR conference brings together the leading researchers, clinicians, and surgeons, along with patient families and OsteoWarriors (survivors, patients, and siblings of OsteoWarriors and OsteoAngels) to Make It Better for those battling this disease. FACTOR stands for Funding, Awareness, Collaboration, Trials, Osteosarcoma, and Research. In bringing the osteosarcoma community together, the goal is to drive collaboration on advancing treatments and improving outcomes for patients with osteosarcoma.

Foster Collaboration: Facilitate connections among researchers, clinicians, surgeons, and patient families to enhance multidisciplinary collaboration in osteosarcoma research and treatment.
Improve Patient Outcomes: Focus on strategies to enhance treatment effectiveness, reduce side effects, and improve the quality of life for patients living with osteosarcoma.
Promote Research: Highlight cutting-edge research in osteosarcoma, with a focus on developing novel therapies, understanding disease mechanisms, and improving patient outcomes.
Educate and Inform: Share the latest advances in osteosarcoma treatment and research with medical professionals, patients, and advocates to keep the community informed and engaged.
Expand Clinical Trials: Encourage participation in and development of clinical trials to explore new treatments, improve existing therapies, and gather critical data for future innovations.
Drive Funding and Awareness: Raise awareness about osteosarcoma and emphasize the need for increased funding to support ongoing research and clinical trials.
Strengthen the Community: Build a stronger support network for patient families and survivors by providing a platform for sharing experiences, challenges, and successes.

OsteoWarriors HQ

The OsteoWarriors HQ (headquarters) brings kids and young adults who have a connection to osteosarcoma together and It. Is. Awesome! HQ activities are designed for kids under 21, but all Warriors are welcome to come check it out. OsteoWarrior HQ is for:

Warriors in treatment for osteosarcoma
Survivors of osteosarcoma
Siblings of OsteoWarriors
Siblings of OsteoAngels

Connecting the kids who have lost limbs, friends and siblings to osteosarcoma is one of the most important things we do. To put the hospital behind them for a few days and connect with other kids from across the country who have been through the same thing they have is really special.

‍The OsteoWarriors HQ is entirely complimentary, with thanks to the generosity of the Jeffries family.
