Situation
Too many children are dying from neuroblastoma, a rare childhood cancer. Despite advances in treatment, high-risk neuroblastoma has one of the lowest survival rates of all childhood cancers. In addition, children currently receive intensive therapy that can also lead to other, lifelong health challenges. More research is desperately needed to improve treatment for children with neuroblastoma and save more young lives.
Solution
Neuroblastoma UK can help find a cure for neuroblastoma by funding pre-clinical, basic research. Since 1982, we’ve invested nearly £9 million into impactful research to advance our understanding of neuroblastoma, accelerate drug development and make breakthroughs in treatment. Despite our best efforts, research into neuroblastoma remains critically under-funded in the UK. This must change. We will continue to fund much-needed research to give children with neuroblastoma the future they deserve.
