PLGA Foundation

The research strategy for A Children's Brain Tumor Cure Foundation (formerly the PLGA Foundation) is guided by an External Scientific Advisory Committee and two Internal Scientific Advisors.

In the most recent PLGA Foundation grant award, The PLGA Foundation, partnered with the Why Not Me Foundation, to fund what is believed to be the first coordinated effort to create an international comprehensive meta analysis database for PLGA patients.  This project will involve merging low grade glioma databases from 7 institutions/collaboratives including:

1)  The Children's Oncology Group (representing databases from two prospective COG studies)
2)  The Germany HIT database
3)  The BBSFOP study database from France
4)  The Italian database
5)  The UKCCSG-ICLGGI database from England
6)  The Dana Farber Cancer Institute geographic database
7)  The Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto) geographic database
