At Kidscan we aim to create a world where every child can survive cancer and go on to live long healthy lives. We use your donations to fund research dedicated to childhood cancer because that’s how we will get there.
To date we have invested over a million pounds in childhood cancer research at respected institutions across the UK. Through a range of projects we are increasing our understanding of the causes and behaviours of childhood cancer, so that we can develop new treatments that only target the cancer itself, without causing damage to children’s growing bodies. We are also furthering our knowledge of how we can deliver treatments in safer ways and how we can improve the efficiency of current treatments to improve survival and reduce side effects at the same time.
Our research spans a range of childhood cancer, from the most common such as Leukaemia, to others where survival rates are low such as Medulloblastoma.
