Accelerating rare cancer research
RareCan
Our Mission
We believe that people with rare cancer have the right to live better, longer lives. We make this happen by bringing people together to create opportunities to accelerate research.
- Our mission is to accelerate research into rare cancers
Rare cancer affects more than 70,000 people per year in the UK: more than 1 in 4 of the total. Sadly, about two thirds will die from their disease within 5 years- as compared with under half for more common cancers. We believe that this is unacceptable and have set up RareCan to work with people affected by rare cancer to help researchers find better treatments.

F.A.Q
Questions
Initially we will simply collect your name and e-mail address. If you decide to become a member, we will ask you for your date of birth, gender and postcode and a description of the kind of cancer you have.
If a researcher would like us to contact you about a clinical trial it is useful for them to know how far you would have to travel to a trial centre.
No- we will always ask your permission first before passing on your data.
