Cancer

The Cancer Research Laboratory hosts various research programs to find improved treatments for children with brain tumours and other forms of cancer.

The clinical trials conducted here form part of the Children's Oncology Group - an international collaborative group consisting of more than 200 hospitals worldwide that are dedicated to improving outcomes for kids with cancer.

The Royal Children's Hospital treats more than 120 children from all over Queensland and northern New South Wales who are newly diagnosed with cancer each year. Hundreds more children are cared for as outpatients. Our dedicated researchers have the potential to find better treatments and ultimately reduce the impact of this devastating disease.
