"Do you have rare cancer"
For patients with rare cancer

Rare cancers represent in total 25% of all newly diagnosed cancers.

rare cancers are identified as those with an incidence of less than 6 per 100,000 persons per year.

Rare cancers can be subcategorized into the following 12 groups or domains:

• Sarcomas​

• Central nervous system rare cancers (CNS)

• Gastrointestinal rare cancers

• Endocrine organ rare cancers

• Female genital rare cancers

• Haematological rare cancers

• Head and neck rare cancers

• Male genital and urogenital rare cancers

• Neuroendocrine tumours (NET)

• Pediatric cancers

• Skin rare cancers

• Thoracic rare cancers

​Extensive literature now confirms that the most effective diagnosis and treatment of patients with rare cancers is provided by reference centres, resulting in higher cure rates.

In many countries like Greece, there are no certified expert centres for all rare cancers, but there are patients who have the need to be connected with expert healthcare/reference centres.

These patients require highly specialised care by an expert multidisciplinary team based on certified centres of excellence in the European Union.

Studies have shown that the diagnosis of rare tumor might change by a highly expertised team in a percentage of 15-20%.

​All costs are covered by our organisation.
