Rare Cancer Center

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Optimizing Treatment for Every Case

Rare cancers are often intractable, with low incidence but high diversity and complexity, making accurate diagnosis particularly challenging. Each rare cancer type presents unique clinical, pathological, radiological, and genetic characteristics, resulting in distinct natural disease progressions and variations in surgical approaches and chemotherapy regimens. For many rare cancers, standardized treatment guidelines have yet to be established,-making consultation with experienced specialists essential.

The Rare Cancer Center operates specialized clinics for neuroendocrine tumors, gastrointestinal stromal tumors, melanoma, and sarcoma. Through a multidisciplinary, integrated approach, our team of experts from surgery, pediatrics, medical oncology, pathology, radiology, and radiation oncology works closely together to deliver accurate diagnoses and develop optimal, individualized treatment plans-striving to provide leading-edge care for every rare cancer patient.
