Introduction

The Rare Cancer Center was established in June 2014 as a multidisciplinary team to take measures against the innate problems associated with rare cancers. Based on discussions, rare cancers are defined as those with an incidence < 6/100,000/year. Although each subtype of rare cancer is rare by itself, they correspond to up to 15% of all new cases diagnosed as cancer when the numbers of each subtype of rare cancer are combined. Information on rare cancers has been scarce to date and this background makes it difficult for clinicians to diagnose rare cancers correctly and treat patients adequately. Another problem is a lack of experienced expertise in the field of rare cancers.

Our team and what we do

The Rare Cancer Center plays a central role in the treatment and management of rare cancers in the National Cancer Center (NCC).

The mission statements of the Rare Cancer Center are as follows.

1)Establishing a vital network for diagnosis and treatment for rare cancers in Japan.

2)Reviewing the problems associated with rare cancers in Japan, and taking up the issues and making proposals as medical professionals for rare cancers.

To enable the Rare Cancer Center to play its role, a total of 45 medical doctors, researchers, and nurses dealing with rare cancers have joined as members of the Rare Cancer Center. Each member of the Rare Cancer Center provides specialized and high-quality medical care to patients with rare cancers, and promotes researches for rare cancers by taking multidisciplinary approach.

Research activities

1.Staff Meeting

We had a bi-monthly conference to discuss the problems associated with rare cancers in each center (the NCC Hospital (NCCH) and the NCC Hospital East (NCCHE)). We also interact with adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with rare cancers to share their experience and uncover their problems associated with rare cancers.

2.Establishment of website as a source to transmit information on rare cancers

We established a website of the Rare Cancer Center to transmit comprehensive, scientifically based, up-to-date unbiased information on rare cancers for patients and their families, and health professionals fighting against rare cancers (https://www.ncc.go.jp/jp/rcc/). We relaunched this website by adding information on seven rare cancers including sarcoma of the head and neck, neuroendocrine tumor, mesothelioma, peritoneal cancer, and lymphoma. We also added information on the endoscopic examination and treatment, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to the Diagnosis and Treatment section.

3.Establishment of the Rare Cancer Hotline

We established the Rare Cancer Hotline to provide consultation for patients with rare cancers and their families on the telephone. The number of consultations via the Rare Cancer Hotline was 5,416 cases in 2016 (Figure 1).

4.Sarcoma Conference

We are organizing a sarcoma group to diagnose and manage sarcoma patients in a multidisciplinary manner. We had a monthly "Sarcoma conference" and discussed the strategy of 45 sarcoma cases this year.

5.Researches for rare cancers

We are promoting researches for rare cancers. We especially promoted the researches highlighting the establishment of appropriate management of rare cancers from the aspect of medical policy. We also promoted basic researches for rare cancers and attempted to develop patient-derived tumor xenografts or cell lines in cooperation with the National Cancer Center Research Institute.

Education

We are making efforts to share information on rare cancers and enhance the development of human resources of rare cancers through conferences and seminars inside and outside the NCC.

Future prospects

The Rare Cancer Center plays a central role in all the aspects of medical care and researches for rare cancers in Japan. We should act as a leader to transmit comprehensive, scientifically based, up-to-date unbiased information on rare cancers for patients and their families, and health professionals, clarify how rare cancer care and research should be and work on the society regarding this information as well as to voluntarily perform medical care and research for rare cancers.
