ARCrare – Asociația Română de Cancere Rare (Romanian Association of Rare Cancers) (Romania)

Scope of organisation

RARE CANCER support organisation (non-CLL specific)

Description

The Romanian Association of Rare Cancers – ARCrare was founded in 2011. We started from the idea that patients affected by rare cancers face the same problems as patients affected by rare diseases, most of them feel marginalized by both rare diseases and common cancers organizations, and therefore we have set ourselves the goal through the Romanian Rare Cancers Association to improve this situation.
