In Asia, rare cancers are individually uncommon yet collectively represent a substantial proportion of cancer patients, and regional research support has been limited. SRCG bridges this gap by combining consensus-building across countries, platform-based cohorts (including MASTER KEY Asia), and investigator-initiated interventional studies, while proactively strengthening collaboration with leading international cooperative groups in other regions. By leveraging sarcoma as a starting point, SRCG also aims to establish scalable approaches that can be extended to other rare cancer types and improve equitable, high-quality care across the region.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<h2>Members<\/h2>\r\n<table class=\"table1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 61.2168%;\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 30px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atlas.ncc.go.jp\/atlasprj_cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/square-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4006\" \/><\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 30px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/atlas.ncc.go.jp\/atlasprj_cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sq_ncc_hospital_okuma_Hitomi.jpg\" alt=\"\u5927\u718a\u3000\u3072\u3068\u307f\u306e\u5199\u771f\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-813\" \/><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td style=\"width: 30px;\">\r\n<p><b>Chair<\/b><br \/>\r\nDr. Tom Wei-Wu Chen<br \/>\r\nNational Taiwan University Hospital, <br \/>\r\nTaiwan<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<td style=\"width: 30px;\">\r\n<p><b>Secretary<br \/>\r\n<\/b>Dr. Hitomi Okuma<br \/>\r\nNational Cancer Center Hospital, <br \/>\r\nJapan<\/p>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Description ATLAS Sarcoma &amp; Rare Cancer Group (SRCG) is a collaborative network dedicated to addressing Asia-specific unmet needs in sarcoma and rare cancers through practical international clinical research.
