In the UK 20% of children diagnosed with cancer will not survive because treatment options are limited. Of those who do survive 60% will be left with disabilities that can range from hearing loss to hear problems caused by treatments that damage their bodies.
By funding research at the University of Salford and across the UK, Kidscan are working towards a world where every child diagnosed with cancer can both survive and live the long lives they deserve.
