Children’s Oncology Group

Since 1998, @hopeonwheels has supported the infrastructure behind COG’s life-changing research. From biospecimen storage to clinical trial support, their investment helps advance new treatments and better outcomes for pediatric cancer patients. thecogfoundation.org/hyundai-hope-o…

Pediatric cancers are biologically different from adult cancers. And, every child’s biology is unique. Project:EveryChild allows researchers to study over 400k biospecimens to better understand pediatric cancers & design more precise treatments. thecogfoundation.org/projecteverych…

COG patients advance research through clinical trials. Some, like Jennifer, go further—helping shape the protocols that guide future care. Better outcomes depend on more than discovery. They require research built with patients in mind. thecogfoundation.org/from-patient-t…

In the United States, 16k new pediatric and adolescent cancer diagnoses are made each year. COG members work tirelessly toward a future where every child has a cure.

Thanks to research led by Dr. Ted Laetsch, the littlest cancer patients can access an extremely effective frontline treatment with far fewer side effects than multiple rounds of chemotherapy. Read more: thecogfoundation.org/a-future-with-…

Adolescent & young adult patients often fall between pediatric and adult cancer care. At COG, Dr. Michael Roth is helping bridge that gap—bringing insights from adult oncology into pediatric trials to improve access & treatment options. thecogfoundation.org/a-qa-with-dr-m… #pediatriconcology

Survival rates for the most common pediatric brain cancer have increased to 70–80%. Rare central nervous system (CNS) cancers, however, still claim far too many young lives. Learn about COG’s leadership in CNS in our Q&A with Dr. Maryam Fouladi. thecogfoundation.org/qa-with-dr-mar…

Better treatment. Earlier access. Now for adolescents. This @US_FDA approval expands a first-line Hodgkin lymphoma treatment to patients 12+. COG-supported sites enrolled 24% of the trial, helping make that possible.

Every child’s cancer is different. Through Project:EveryChild, COG is building one of the largest pediatric cancer datasets to help researchers better understand tumor tissue, blood, DNA, & other biospecimens to develop more personalized treatments. thecogfoundation.org/projecteverych…

Huge news for adolescents with advanced Hodgkin lymphoma. Made possible by @SWOG with support from @COGorg 12-17yo patients making up 24% of participants. Funding support from @StBaldricks #hodgkinlymphoma @FDAOncology

New @FDA_Drug_Info approval: better 1st-line treatment for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma now available for patients 12+. @SWOG led this clinical trial & COG helped make it possible w/patients aged 12-17 making up 24% of participants. Supported by @StBaldricks fda.gov/drugs/resource…

A new chapter for COG. The Children’s Oncology Group is now operating as an independent organization supporting the continued advancement of pediatric cancer research. thecogfoundation.org/standing-on-ou…

“Becoming an independent organization will fuel our mission and give us the unity of purpose and focus that will make us stronger.” - Dr. Doug Hawkins COG now operates independently from PHI. Read more about this milestone: thecogfoundation.org/standing-on-ou…

Not every trial leads to a new drug, but every study brings us closer to a cure. COG’s Dr. Meg Macy & Dr. Kelly Goldsmith turned “negative results” into insights that will shape future cancer care for kids. thecogfoundation.org/negative-resul…
