Directory of
rare and less common cancers
This directory aims to let people who want to know more about a particular rare or less common cancer know which charities are working in the field. The charities will all differ in what they are able to offer but most are able to provide information and support.
We've listed the charities under the type of cancer, so charities may appear more than once. Please note that we're generally not linked up to any charities working with the four most cancers of breast, bowel, lung or prostate.
Further down the page are a library of health information resources created by members, and a list of cancer awareness dates.
