In 2025, about 1 in 5 cancers diagnosed in the U.S. will be considered rare. Though uncommon individually, rare cancers impact over 400,000 people each year. This weekend, the Beacon of Hope shines in zebra stripes to honor Rare Disease Day and those affected by rare cancers.

Today is #rare disease day. Many of the cancers we treat are rare diseases. #NIH and #NCI funding is critical to support research on rare diseases specifically.
