US Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) recently commented on Rare Cancer Day, coming up on September 30:
“On Rare Cancer Day, I’m proud to stand with the National Organization for Rare Disorders to raise awareness of rare – and often deadly – cancers and to keep up the fight for cures. With robust federal investment, we can and will find cures for the hundreds of rare cancers affecting people in Connecticut and across the nation. Increased, ongoing federal funding is essential to spur innovation and discovery of treatments and cures to help save lives.”
