orphan cancer

引句：
When Kate became ill, with a rare cancer called clear cell sarcoma, she reacted practically, and generously. She started a fund for research and treatment of “orphan” cancers like hers and played benefit concerts with her children Rufus and Martha Wainwright to swell its coffers.
—Robert Everett-Green, “Goodbye sweet harmony,” The Globe and Mail, January 20, 2010
