Brain cancer is the most common cause of solid tumor cancer death in children.
Cancer kills more children than any other disease
Children with brain cancer are too young to vote. Their disease has been grossly neglected by governmental and scientific institutions.
9 new children will be diagnosed with brain cancer every day. 
Current medical treatments are over 25 years old and are TOXIC and INEFFECTIVE.

Children's brain tumors are a form of cancer
More effective, less toxic treatments and a cure are within reach, if funding is available.
There is no such thing as a benign brain tumor. Brain tumors can cause serious impairments and death.

Research Evidence Suggests Tumors Can Be Targeted

A recent genomic study by researchers at St. Judes and Washington University Medical Center, identifies genetic mutations responsible for over half of low grade astrocytoma brain tumors. Researchers also found evidence that suggests that these tumors are susceptible to drugs that are already in development...read more

CHOP Study Confirms BRAF-Targeted Therapies For PLGA Are Possible

CHOP's recently published article entitled "Paradoxical activation and RAF inhibitor of BRAF protein kinase fusions characterizing pediatric astrocytomas", in PNAS, April 9th, 2013, confirms that data supported the development of targeted treatment paradigms for BRAF-altered pediatric actrocytomas and also demonstrated that therapies might be tailored to the specific mutational context and distinct mechanisms of action of the mutant kinase. read more
