Fighting Childhood Leukemia
The Fighting Childhood Leukemia program of the National Cancer Center provides research funding for the most common form of cancer in children: leukemia. Childhood leukemia accounts for more than one-third of all new cases of childhood cancers.
Research funded at Harvard’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute seeks to discover novel molecular markers and potential therapeutic targets that, in time, can lead to improved diagnosis and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia patients.
