A chronic condition is a human health condition or disease that is persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects or a disease that comes with time.

Common chronic diseases include arthritis, asthma, cancer, COPD, diabetes and viral diseases such as hepatitis C and HIV/AIDS.

A rare disease is any disease that affects a small percentage of the population.

Most rare diseases are genetic, and thus are present throughout the person's entire life, even if symptoms do not immediately appear.

Many rare diseases appear early in life, and about 30 percent of children with rare diseases will die before reaching their fifth birthday.

With a single diagnosed patient only, ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency is considered the rarest genetic disease.

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.

Not all tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body.

While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they may have other causes.

Over 100 types of cancers affect humans.
