WA Kids Cancer Centre

The WA Cancer Centre is up for the fight against childhood cancer!

Cancer remains the leading cause of childhood death by disease in Australia. It is a battle too many children and teenagers face every day, with few treatment advances in decades. Close to 1,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed every year in Australia and sadly, three children a week lose their battle.

For many children, current treatments are not curative and those who survive are too often left with devastating life-long side effects. This is an unavoidable consequence of current radiotherapies and chemotherapies, that are not only toxic to cancer cells, but also to the developing bodies and brains of children. Tragically, current treatments can even cause deadly secondary cancers later in life.
