Working every day to eradicate childhood cancer
Many discoveries funded by Children’s Cancer Research Fund have revolutionized the way childhood cancer is treated worldwide and helped to support quality-of-life programs for pediatric cancer patients and their families.
We invest in the research areas that will have the most impact in the pursuit of better cures and treatments for children with cancer. Here are just a few of the ways we are making strides:
Leadership
- The Childhood Cancer Registry Network—led by one of our co-chief medical advisors—is being used by 97 percent of new pediatric cancer patients, and is the model for medical registries.
- The researchers we support are granted more NIH and other grant funding on umbilical cord blood stem cells and transplantation than any other institution in the world
Results
- The double cord blood transplant – developed by our other co-chief medical advisor—which has dramatically increased leukemia survival rates in both children and adults– is known worldwide as the Minneapolis regimen. The University of Minnesota—the center we support—has performed more cord blood transplants than anywhere else in the world.
- We funded the largest study of childhood cancer survivors, which now number more than 300,000 in the U.S., which found that survivors were at significant risk of ongoing health issues due to their cancer treatment. We also support one of the first clinics dedicated to the ongoing health care of childhood cancer survivors.
Faster cures
- In just over 10 months, researchers funded by Children’s Cancer Research Fund developed and manufactured a brain tumor vaccine that is getting prepared for clinical trials. This vaccine shows promise to increase survival rates and provide treatments with fewer side effects.
- Our researchers are isolating T-cells from umbilical cord blood then inserting a specific DNA sequence in the T-cells, which enhances their ability to recognize and kill leukemia and lymphoma cells.
With the continued support of Children’s Cancer Research Fund, new discoveries can keep building on the progress that’s been made, and we can keep working towards an ultimate goal – a world free of childhood cancer.
WAR - Woman Against Rape
This is the joint website of Women Against Rape and Black Women’s Rape Action Project. Both organisations are based on self-help and provide support, legal information and advocacy. We campaign for justice and protection for all women and girls, including asylum seekers, who have suffered sexual, domestic and/or racist violence
WAR was founded in 1976. It has won changes in the law, such as making rape in marriage a crime, set legal precedents and achieved compensation for many women. BWRAP was founded in 1991. It focuses on getting justice for women of colour, bringing out the particular discrimination they face. It has prevented the deportation of many rape survivors. Both organisations are multiracial.
