Developmental Therapeutics
The cure rate for childhood cancer has improved tremendously over the past several decades.
Unfortunately, very little progress has been made in the treatment of especially aggressive cancers such as metastatic tumors, high-risk leukemias, and many relapsed malignancies. And many children who ultimately survive cancer may still experience substantial immediate and/or long-term complications from chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. The inability to cure so many children with cancer is not acceptable. New and more tolerable therapies are desperately needed for pediatric oncology patients.
