TCF-001 TRACK is a fully remote clinical trial enrolling 400 patients with rare cancers or cancer of unknown primary. TRACK provides participating rare cancer patients and their physicians with personalized, actionable genomic information to potentially inform treatment, as well as recommendations for treatments (including clinical trials) from an expert panel of rare cancer clinicians and scientists. Simultaneously, TRACK generates critical genomic data to drive a better understanding of often overlooked rare cancers.

TargetCancer Foundation has a dedicated community of volunteers who contribute to our work in many different ways—including volunteering at events, planning fundraisers, sharing personal and professional expertise (in areas such as marketing, technology, and science), writing for our blog and other communications channels, and so much more. We welcome patients, caregivers, families, friends, advocates and supporters to become involved and to bring your ideas and enthusiasm to help make a difference for rare cancer researchers and patients. Learn more about our various volunteer opportunities here.

A community fundraiser can be any type of event you imagine, from a small gathering at your home to a community walk to a golf tournament. You come up with the idea and we’ll be there to support you along the way. Contact us to get started.

Applications for the team traditionally open in September. Please check here if you are interested in applying.
