No. Our service is solely to give you information about trials you may be suitable for. The final decision to take part in a trial that you have been accepted for is yours. You will be given information about the trial, initially by RareCan, then by the team running it if you decide to apply to join. You can opt out of the process at any time, even after the trial has begun. We strongly recommend that you speak to your medical team before making any commitment.

There are over 200 different types of cancer, some much more common than others. Whilst ‘rare’ is a relative term it is generally agreed to be a cancer that occurs in less than 6 out of every 100,000 people each year.
What this means is that a typical GP will probably see the more ‘common’ rare cancers once every couple of years. But the rarest they may only see once in their entire career, if at all.
