Rare Cancer Day is an annual awareness day devoted to shining a light on rare cancers and the issues people living with them face. Spearheaded by the NORD Rare Cancer Coalition, which is composed of 27 rare cancer-specific member organizations, Rare Cancer Day is observed on September 30 to highlight the challenges patients face and to unify individuals living with rare cancers for awareness and early diagnosis.

This year’s specific theme is the Genomic Testing – helping cancer patients – especially rare cancer patients – learn about this option in their diagnosis and treatment plans. 

Children’s Cancer Cause and the Rare Cancer Coalition invite you to spread the word about rare cancer and the emerging treatment tools currently available.
