Kidscan Children's Cancer Research

In the UK, 1 in 5 children diagnosed with cancer will not survive because treatment options for childhood cancers are limited. 

Of those who do survive, 60% will develop life-altering disabilities such as hearing loss, infertility, major organ & bone problems and even heart failure caused by treatments that damage the healthy cells in children's bodies. Known as late-effects these problems can appear long after treatment has finished, are progressive and can even reduce life expectancy. 

Kidscan are one of the only charities in the UK dedicated to finding safe new treatments for children with cancer. We invest in research that aims to both improve survival rates and stop the late effects that current treatments cause. Our aim is to create a world where every child diagnosed with cancer can survive and go on to live the long healthy lives they deserve.
