February 28, NANETS recognizes Rare Disease Day, a time to raise awareness amongst the public and medical professionals about the impact rare disease has on a patient's life.
Improving access to treatment and medical representation for individuals and families experiencing rare disease is important to acknowledge and to address. As the NANETS community knows, neuroendocrine cancer is a rare disease that affects 12,000 new patients each year and can often take years to diagnose.
