Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group

Homepage

Survival for children with cancer and leukaemia has improved from 10% in 1970 to around 75% today.   The clinical trials and laboratory research conducted by the dedicated members of Childrens Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG) over the past 30 years has been a major factor in this. 

The CCLG is committed to research and improvements in the standards of care for children and younger teenagers, but although childhood cancer treatment is rightly regarded as a great success, it should not be forgotten that still today three out of ten children diagnosed with cancer will not survive their disease.  The ultimate aim of CCLG is to maximise cure while minimising the early and late side effects of treatment.

 CCLG also has an important communication role.  The need for reliable information for families of children with cancer is vital and CCLG has become the leading producer of high quality, award winning publications, available free of charge, to help support both the children and their families through their cancer journey.

Caring for children and curing their cancer remains our goal.
