The Rare Cancer Care and Research Fund (RCC&RF) was established in October 2022 through the generosity and foresight of two patients of the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service - Melissa Evans and Neil Russell.
It operates under the auspice of Wishlist in collaboration with Sunshine Coast University Hospital, particularly the Medical Oncology Unit and the Research Governance and Development Unit.
Collaborations are also being progressed with key external parties including Cancer Alliance Queensland and Australian Families 4 Genomics.
The RCC&RF will practically assist people with rare cancer and their treating specialists in a variety of ways, including:
* Highlighting the unique needs of people with rare cancer;
* Progressing formal research projects;
* Genomic sequencing;
* Using data to help inform patient care;
* Generating data for future research;
* Accelerating scientific discovery.
