Program areas at TargetCancer Foundation

The specific purposes of the Organization are to raise awareness of and support for research into rare cancers, and to directly support patients and families facing rare cancers. This was accomplished in the fiscal year through the ongoing operation of a rare cancer precision medicine clinical trial, and through other programs. In 2020, TargetCancer Foundation launched a rare cancer precision medicine clinical trial called TCF-001 TRACK (Target Rare Cancer Knowledge). TRACK is a 400-patient clinical trial studying genomics and precision medicine in rare cancers, providing patients with critical personalized genomic data about their cancer and treatment recommendations from a panel of field leaders, and also generating rare cancer research data. TRACK is developed, sponsored and managed by TargetCancer Foundation, and is currently over halfway through its enrollment of patients with rare cancers and cancer of unknown primary.In 2023, TargetCancer Foundation held a major scientific meeting- the Think Tank on Advancing Precision Medicine in Rare Cancers. This unique, innovative meeting unites key stakeholders including clinicians, researchers, government, industry, and patients and advocates. This meeting is specifically designed to promote collaboration, information-sharing and idea generation in an effort to define research priorities, foster new collaborative efforts across institutions, and ultimately propel the field forward.
