We are dedicated to improving survival of all childhood (0 – 14 yrs old) and young adult (15 – 24 yrs old) cancers. Over the past thirty years, we have witnessed dramatic improvements in the survival of some paediatric and young person’s cancers, yet there are still cancers which have a fatal prognosis. As the UK’s leading charity dedicated to childhood cancer research, we are proud of our contribution to the ongoing breakthroughs which have saved and improved thousands of young lives.
Our Research Strategy is undergoing some exciting new changes based on emerging innovations and cutting edge thinking in childhood, teenage and young adult cancer research. We will be publishing our new strategy in the near future, so please keep checking back on this page for updates.
For any questions about how the new strategy relates to applying for our latest grant round, please contact the Research team at research@childrenwithcancer.org.uk for further information.
Our research programme is designed to progress our principal aims. First, we wish to develop improved treatments so that more patients are cured with less toxic side effects. Second, we wish to better understand how cancer develops so that one day we may be able to prevent it.
