A cohort focused on rare cancers, comprising clinicopathological data, imaging data, and biobanked samples to facilitate research on early detection, personalized treatment, and follow-up.
FORCE is a consortium comprising patients, clinicians, and researchers working collaboratively.

The primary goal of FORCE is to improve treatment outcomes for rare cancers by developing a data warehouse containing clinicopathological data, imaging data, and a large-scale biobank of samples from donors with rare cancers. This comprehensive repository enables high-quality research on rare cancers.

The FORCE cohorts will support research primarily focused on assessing the value and efficacy of USccfDNA assays in early detection, personalized treatment, and follow-up of rare cancers.

Secondary goals:

  • Identifying and validating novel markers for diagnosis, prognosis, follow-up, therapy stratification, and treatment evaluation.
  • Gaining a comprehensive understanding of the long-term biology of rare cancers.
  • Enhancing clinical decision-making.
  • Improving treatment outcomes.
  • Facilitating early detection of rare cancers.
