Understanding Rare Cancers

A rare cancer is defined as a type of cancer that has less than 6 incidences per year per 100,000 population.

A less common cancer is defined as one that has between 6 and 12 incidences per year per 100,000 population. Examples are Brain Tumours, Thyroid Cancers, Liver Cancers, Pancreatic Cancers, Kidney Cancer, Testicular Cancer and many, many more. In fact most cancers, except Breast, Prostate, Bowel, Lung and Melanoma, can be classified as rare or less common.

There are literally hundreds of different types of rare and less common cancers and when combined they have a devastating impact on the community’s health and wellbeing. In a typical year over 44,000 Australians will be diagnosed with a rare or less common cancer and nearly 24,000 will die.

That is why we say Rare Cancers Are Not Rare.

Rare Cancers Australia is committed to improving the lives of rare cancer patients and their survival outcome. By focussing on early diagnosis, and improved treatment whilst helping patients cope with the consequences of the disease RCA can make an important, necessary and long term contribution to the community’s health and wellbeing.

Recent guests at Grevillea Lodge have been happy to share some of Merrill's home grown tomatoes, apricots, and big luscious yellow peaches - just picked the last of these yesterday. We now have plenty of peach jam for breakfasts in the coming year :)

Yes! Grevillea Lodge has had over 30mm of rain! I'm glad you people up north sent a little bit down to us at last! Our beautiful spring garden has suffered greatly over summer. Good that we have plenty of photos to show what it can look like at its best!
