RESEARCH AGAINST CHILDHOOD CANCER IN FRANCE AND EUROPE<\/h2>\n

Childhood cancer research, in France and in Europe, focuses on:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Improve knowledge of the causes of pediatric cancers,<\/li>\n
  2. Dealing with resistance to the treatments implemented<\/li>\n
  3. Find new drugs to cure more and better children and teenagers.<\/li>\n
  4. Reduce adverse effects of treatment and long-term sequelae for children treated for cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Indeed, if 80% of children recover from cancer, they are often victims of many side effects that will lead them to follow a particular treatment throughout their lives. For the 20% who currently have no viable therapeutic solution, the only hope remains the progress of research.<\/p>\n

    For this, calls for projects and structuring actions are implemented at French and European levels. Among them is the Fight Kids Cancer<\/em> call for projects, created in 2020 by Imagine for Margo and its European partners. The latter has made it possible to take research against childhood cancer into a new dimension. Learn more about Fight Kids Cancer<\/em> below.<\/p>\n

    THE ROLE OF IMAGINE FOR MARGO IN FAVOR OF CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH<\/h2>\n

    As the National Cancer Institute reminds us, each year, 2,500 children are diagnosed with cancer in France. To these are added 1,000 cases in young adults aged 20 to 25. However, these cancers pose a real challenge to scientists, because they are considered rare diseases and are very varied. Today, it is estimated that there are 100 different types of childhood cancer. This diversity of pathologies makes research on them more complicated.<\/p>\n
