Cancer in children and young people
Our main projects
Blood cancers account for more than 50% of cancers diagnosed before 25 years of age. HMRN provides valuable, contemporary, robust, generalizable data on these cancers.
VIVO Biobank is a national UK resource that is dedicated to storing samples and data of cancers affecting children and young people.
Vivo is a collaboration between Cancer Research UK and Blood Cancer UK.
UKCCS is a national study designed to examine potential causes of cancers diagnosed before the age of 15 years, and also explore the longer-term health of childhood cancer survivors.
We established a long-standing and highly successful treatment programme in Uganda, for the childhood cancer, retinoblastoma, that has become a model for the management of certain childhood cancers in low income settings.
