Rare Tumors

Rare tumors are tumors that occur in less than 10 out of every 1,000 people. They are typically more aggressive and less responsive to treatment than common tumors. While rare tumors are often more difficult to diagnose and treat than common tumors, they can still be managed with the right treatments. Treatment options may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapies. Understanding rare tumors is essential to providing better care to those affected. In addition, research into rare tumors has yielded insights that can help improve treatments for more common tumors.
