The Australian Rare Cancer Portal

The Australian Rare Cancer Portal (ARC Portal) is a free national service that connects clinicians to trusted rare cancer expertise when a case moves beyond familiar territory.

Rare cancers can be difficult to diagnose and treat. Evidence is often fragmented, local expertise can be limited, and decisions carry significant weight for patients and clinicians alike. 

ARC Portal exists to provide support at exactly the point when specialist input would help, and uncertainty is making the next step harder.

Care always remains with the treating clinician, strengthening, not disrupting, the doctor-patient relationship.
