Children’s Cancer Institute exists solely to put an end to childhood cancer. We don't just hope to do it. We will do it. Every year more than 950 Australian children and adolescents will be diagnosed with cancer. Every week nearly three Australian children and adolescents will die of cancer. Fifty years ago, cancer was nearly always a death sentence for a child. Now eight out of 10 children survive - and it's medical research that has made this huge difference. Our task won’t be easy – childhood cancer is hugely complex – but we’re confident that with the brightest brains, the best facilities and the greatest determination, we will get the job done.
