Rare cancers are those that affect fewer than 40,000 people in the U.S. (and many cancer types are even rarer). There are also rare subsets of some more common cancers, such as lung cancer or breast cancer. #RDDNIH #RareCancer

Did you know that many cancers are actually rare diseases? As a group, rare cancers make up just over a quarter of all cancers. And, a quarter of all cancer deaths each year are due to rare cancers. #RDDNIH spr.ly/6015Xz6I7
