Behind the Mystery of Sarcoidosis: A Rare Disease That Can Cause Shortness of Breath, Chest Pain

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect almost any organ in the body, but most commonly targets the lungs and lymph nodes. Due to the high unmet medical need, there is an urgency for effective and accessible treatment options. We sat down with Dr. Peter Sporn at Northwestern Medical Center to learn more. We also met Cheryl who spent nearly 2 decades searching for a team of doctors who would help manage and treat her sarcoidosis. She found a strong support system in The Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research where she met a community of individuals who understood her journey, while also providing support and guidance to other patients newly diagnosed.
