What makes rare, rare?
Rare cancers make up hundreds of different types of cancer, each occurring in 6-12 people per 100,000 of the population in Asutralia. Individually they have small numbers, but collectively they make up roughly a quarter of all cancer diagnoses and a third of cancer-related deaths.1
Partnership to strengthen knowledge access
GenesisCare have just announced a partnership with Rare Cancers Australia (RCA). The funding from which aims to strengthen critical information sharing between patients and clinicians about treatment pathways and special access programs through two dedicated platforms – RCA Knowledge Base and Medicines Access Portal (MAP).
The RCA Knowledge Base brings together trusted information on more than 200 rare and less common cancer types giving patients and clinicians a single, reliable source of information. MAP complements this by providing an online portal that enables clinicians and oncology pharmacists to quickly identify compassionate access programs available to cancer patients across Australia.
