Children’s Cancer Translational Research
Driving evidence-based improvements in outcomes for children and young people living with and beyond cancer.
Background
Outcomes for 80% of young people diagnosed with cancer have improved in the last five decades. This is because of the development of combination chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. However, not all young people with cancer have seen the same benefits. Young people with some cancers (including metastatic neuroblastoma and Ewing sarcoma) have not experienced this level of improvement and are therefore areas of high unmet need.
