Bikus Urachus Rare Cancer Fund
Donate Now
The Bikus Urachus rare cancer fund is a fund dedicated to funding initiatives in rare cancer research. While most of the funds raised for cancer research go towards more prevalent cancers, 24% of cancer patients are fighting rare cancers – more than any single common cancer. And the mortality rate is higher and faster: recurrence rates are upwards of 50% compared with 3-5% for some common cancers. The fund began in 2014 and was originally focused on funding Urachal Cancer research. Urachal cancer is a rare cancer that presents itself late, providing its victims with a near zero chance of survival once it has metastasized. It seems fair that rare cancer patients get a fighting chance to beat their cancer and this fund aims to give them to tools to win the fight. To date, the fund has sponsored a DNA sequencing study on urachal cancers and has purchased a next generation DNA sequencing platform for the Segal Cancer Centre at the Jewish General Hospital which is used for screening patients for personalized cancer therapies, and as well as for research purposes.
