About CCLG - Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group

Survival for children with cancer and leukaemia has improved from 10% in 1970 to around 75%. The clinical trials and laboratory research conducted by members of Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG) has been a major factor in this. The CCLG is committed to research and development in the treatment of cancer for children and younger teenagers, but although childhood cancer treatment is rightly regarded as a great success, it should not be forgotten that still today three out of ten children diagnosed with cancer will not survive their disease. The ultimate aim of CCLG is to maximise cure while minimising the early and late side effects of treatment. Information for families of children with cancer is an important issue and to help support both the children and their families we produce a wide range of award winning publications which are available free of charge. Caring for children and curing their cancer remains our goal.
