Our research is saving lives
Research has transformed survival for children and young people with cancer over the past 40 years. But sadly, we’re still losing too many young lives to cancer, and in many cases, survivors experience serious long-term side effects as a result of their treatment.
That’s why more work needs to be done to make sure every child and young person survives their cancer, and does so with a good quality of life. Our statement of intent outlines how we intend to support researchers to drive progress in children’s and young people’s cancer research.
Current research
From studying the biology of children's cancer cells in the lab to leading clinical trials testing cutting-edge treatments, our researchers are working hard to ensure more children and young people survive cancer.
Past research
Thanks to research, we’ve helped change the outlook for children and young people with cancer.
