This report explores why outcomes and experiences remain worse for people with rare and less common cancers – and what we can do to change that. Earlier this year, Rare Cancers Australia ran the first national Cancer Lived Experience Survey, with nearly 2,500 responses from people diagnosed with cancer and their carers. Three-quarters of those were affected by a rare or less common cancer, including rare subtypes of common cancers. Our new report shares early findings from that survey, alongside insights from the rare cancer community, highlighting the barriers to being counted, diagnosed, treated and supported. It also includes evidence-based recommendations to break down those barriers and achieve true equity. We are deeply grateful to everyone who offered their thoughts and insights, and honoured to share them in this report.
