Today, on Rare Cancers Awareness Day, we join with the rare cancer community across Australia to raise awareness of the unique challenges faced by the thousands of Australians diagnosed with a rare or less common cancer every year. While each rare cancer may affect relatively few people, together they account for a significant proportion of cancer diagnoses and deaths, highlighting the urgent need for greater awareness, research, equitable access to care and support.
To help patients, families, clinicians and the broader community better understand rare cancers, we are pleased to share this comprehensive Rare Cancers Information Kit, developed by Rare Cancers Australia. As Australia’s leading organisation dedicated to supporting people living with rare and less common cancers, Rare Cancers Australia provides trusted information, practical guidance, advocacy and support to ensure that no Australian faces a rare cancer diagnosis alone.
