Rare Cancers & Tumors

Welcome to the Rare Cancer Alliance (RCA) website. If you are newly diagnosed with a rare type of cancer or a pediatric cancer; you are no longer alone. RCA's primary purpose is to disseminate information and provide support to all pediatric (childhood) and adult rare cancer patients. In the Forums you will find people just like you - patients and survivors. You can read some of their stories in the Personal Story support section. Our members are people who have had to go through the process of wading through information (or lack of it) for their own cancer. The information and support found on our website may save you precious time and energy.

RCA's secondary purpose is to offer a consolidated venue to raise awareness and funding for rare cancer research, which seldom benefits from donations made to general cancer research organizations. Many rare cancers have unique traits with specialized treatment needs. Please visit our page on Research Funds. RCA welcomes new information on other research funds.

Please participate in RCA's endeavor to make this this a useful site for all patients and caregivers! Submit your own rare cancer story today.
