Rare cancers account for ~25–30% of all cancer diagnoses and 25% of cancer deaths, representing a substantial burden of disease. However, basic science research, clinical trials and approval of new therapies for rare cancers are lacking. This translates into a worse prognosis for patients with a rare cancer than for those with common cancers. With the number of rare cancers increasing, finding more appropriate solutions for diagnosing, managing and studying rare cancers is essential.
