	The DES Cancer Network is an organization that addresses the special needs of women who have had clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina and/or cervix – a cancer linked to exposure to DES before birth. The mission of the DES Cancer Network is providing recovered patients with ways to contact one another and to support new patients who have been diagnosed or are undergoing treatment. The DCN is also a support group to the family and friends of DES daughters who are clear cell cancer survivors as well as those who have lost loved ones to the disease.
