Progress
Why concussions and rare cancers?
Rare cancers are not rare.
1 in 4 cancer patients
has a rare cancer.
Rare cancer patients have
few treatment options &
significantly poorer outcomes
compared to patients with
common cancers.
10 million people are
affected annually by
traumatic brain injuries
Concussions can cause debilitating short term and long term effects, including physical, mental, and emotional harm.
Common Challenges
Rare cancer research and concussion research face similar obstacles. Both are hindered by scattered and scarce data, limited resources, and a lack of information-sharing. Smashfest® supports COLLABORATIVE research to accelerate the pace of discovery.
Our Impact
Find out how Smashfest® is supporting collaborative research on rare cancers with the Broad Insitute of MIT and Harvard.
