Rare and less common cancers

Any cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming, but facing a diagnosis of a less common or rare cancer, can be particularly challenging. At Cancer Council SA, we are here for all people and all cancers which is why we’ve put together a range of informative and supportive resources to help you better understand a rare cancer diagnosis and feel supported across every stage of your cancer experience. This section provides an overview of rare and less common cancers in Australia, with information about the detection, risk factors and treatment. To find out more about each rare or less common cancer, click through below.
