Rare cancers collectively make up over a quarter of new cancer diagnoses in the U.S. annually, making them much less ‘rare’ than you’d think. These patients deserve better therapies and treatment options.

At RCRF, we are building and growing infrastructure to address critical gaps in the rare cancer space: connecting researchers to desperately needed tissue, creating a space for open-access data that fosters collaboration, and allowing patients to have greater control over their tissue for clinical and research use. We need your help to make progress happen and help give rare cancer patients a better shot at a healthier future.

“With RCRF taking on the major responsibilities—identifying patients, addressing their needs and concerns, collaborating with doctors to acquire samples, and ensuring timely shipment of biospecimens—it has been a game-changer for our work.”

“As always, any opportunity to work with RCRF is an opportunity for amazing change.”

- Researcher, Washington University in St. Louis
