Desmoplastic Small
Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT)

Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT) is a rare and aggressive type of cancer that most often develops in the abdomen or pelvis, particularly in young males. It belongs to a group of cancers called small round cell tumors and is associated with a characteristic genetic change involving the EWSR1 and WT1 genes.

​

DSRCT is a rare, fast-growing cancer that mainly affects young people and commonly occurs in the abdomen. Early recognition and specialized treatment are important in managing the disease

Through visually compelling and informative designs, the project aims to educate the public about these disorders, highlighting the challenges of diagnosis, the impact on individuals and families, and the importance of early awareness. By combining research-based content with engaging visuals, the project seeks to connect with those who may be undiagnosed, know someone affected, or simply wish to learn more. The design choices were intentionally crafted to balance clarity with emotional resonance, using infographics, illustrations, and typography to make complex medical information accessible and impactful.

​

Deliverables:

• Educational brochures and booklets

• Awareness buttons and wearable designs (e.g., sweaters)

• Informative infographics for print and digital use

• A curated Instagram account to reach a broader audience and foster engagement
