Closed Fund increased research into and public awareness of rarer cancers

Closed on

Rare and very rare cancers account for almost half of diagnoses, yet awareness is very low.

The charities that fund research and raise awareness are often small, and have limited funds available. We want the Government to fund increased research into and public awareness of rarer cancers.

The Government should work with charities that work in the area of rarer cancers to consider best how new funding can be directed, and awareness of rarer cancers increased.
