Despite medical advances, cancer in children and adolescents cannot always be cured. Two out of ten patients die of cancer.
The German Children's Cancer Foundation is doing everything to ensure that all children are cured in the future. It supports affected families and young adults who had cancer as children with information, advice and help in financial emergencies.
The Foundation is successfully committed to constantly improving the chances of recovery, treatment methods, and the quality of life of children with cancer.
