55% of UK cancer deaths are from rare and less common cancers.

Despite this, these cancers remain under represented and under funded across all areas, including policy, services and research.

Cancer52 is an alliance of over 100 cancer charities working to address this inequality and improve outcomes for patients.

We work on matters that have an impact on the
rare and less common cancer community.

Our objectives

Partnership: Unify, inform and empower our member organisations.

Patients: Use our unique structure to capture the patient voice of those with rare and less common cancers.

Policy: Take that voice on to those bodies and individuals who influence cancer policy, science, clinical outputs, services and treatment.
