DICER1 Syndrome-Associated Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer linked to changes in the DICER1 gene.
The DICER1 gene normally helps control how cells grow and develop. When this gene is damaged, abnormal cells can grow and form tumours. These cancers usually occur in children, teenagers, and young adults.
Many sufferers of DICER1 Syndrome-Associated Sarcoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as DICER1 Syndrome-Associated Sarcoma. We have recently created an DICER1 Syndrome-Associated Sarcoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
