Each year worldwide, approximately 400,000 children and adolescents of 0-19 years old are diagnosed with cancer.
More than 95% of childhood cancer survivors have significant health-related issues because of the current treatment options.
Cancer is the number one cause of death by disease among children worldwide.
Each day, 43 kids in the US are expected to be diagnosed with cancer. 1 in 285 children will be diagnosed with cancer before their 20th birthday.
The NPCF created and governs a collaborative research model focusing on translational studies and phase 0, 1, and 2 clinical trials addressing all types of pediatric cancers.
We leverage collaboration, both scientific and philanthropic, to identify promising, less toxic, novel therapies to treat and eliminate childhood cancer.
Through our partnerships, top pediatric cancer specialists are able to collaborate, resulting in the fast-tracking of new treatment options into clinical trials.
NPCF’s research is affecting treatment protocols worldwide and giving hope to patients and families.
