Rare Cancer
Rare cancers are characterized by the National Institute of Health as those malignancies which inflect less than 40,000 people annually in the United States. Combined, all rare cancers account for about 25% of all cancer diagnoses. Unfortunately, research and development of new therapies for rare cancers is challenging, resulting in slow progress for new therapeutic approaches. While rare cancers exist in many organs throughout the body, all childhood cancers are considered rare.
