CureSearch National Childhood Cancer Foundation CureSearch supports the Children's Oncology Group (COG), the world's largest cooperative pediatric cancer research network of physicians, nurses and scientists who represent every childhood cancer program in North America and treat over 90% of children with cancer. By working together to design and conduct clinical trials and research, COG members provide children with cancer and their families' access to the highest possible standards of care at a pediatric cancer center that is close to home. This year, CureSearch is proud to commemorate the 50th anniversary of cooperative pediatric cancer group research and honor the legacy of scientific progress that has turned childhood cancer from a nearly incurable disease to one with an overall 78% cure rate. While this success is impressive, the status quo is not acceptable. [ more information ]
