The Mast Cell Disease Society, Inc.

The Mast Cell Disease Society, Inc. (TMS) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in the United States dedicated to supporting patients affected by Mastocytosis or Mast Cell Activation Diseases as well as their families, caregivers, and physicians through research, education, and advocacy.

TMS facilitates support groups nationwide to provide patients and caregivers with education, printed materials, speakers, outreach, and a feeling of community.

This organization also conducts, collaborates with and participates in research with professional organizations and industry partners. In addition, TMS attends medical conferences in various specialty areas to educate physicians about mast cell disorders.

TMS holds a large conference for patients, families  and physicians every two years in a different area of the country each time.

Members of the TMS Research Committee are working together with the American Initiative in Mast Cell Diseases (AIM) launch committee to establish a network of Centers of Excellence and Reference Centers in the United States similar to the European Competency Network on Mastocytosis.  Ultimately this network will encompass all of North, Central and South America.
