Dad’s Dream Inspires Global Cancer Fight

The Global Symposium on Childhood Brain Tumours is bringing the world's premier childhood brain tumour researchers and scientists together in Perth.

Research sheds new light on childhood Leukaemia treatment

A The Kids study examining drug resistance in leukaemia patients has shed new light on why some treatments may be more effective than others.

Global Assault on Childhood Brain Tumours Gains Momentum

A report outlining key steps to tackle a common and aggressive childhood brain tumor is gaining rapid momentum after attracting international attention.

Ethan's brain cancer battle inspires research

A new research scholarship to combat childhood brain tumours will be launched tonight in honour of two year old Perth toddler Ethan Davies.

Researchers find genetic clue to cancer relapse

Cancer researchers at The Kids for Child Health Research have developed a new test that can rapidly detect the loss of genes in cancer cells.

Funding boost for childhood cancer research projects

Projects to improve outcomes for leukaemia patients and reduce skin cancer rates in young Aboriginal people have received funding through Cancer Council WA.

Philanthropic legacy dedicated to seeing all kids with cancer survive and thrive

One of WA’s biggest ever philanthropic gifts will transform childhood cancer research and treatment by improving outcomes for children with cancer and discovering more effective and less toxic treatments.

Immune checkpoint therapy responders display early clonal expansion of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes

Immune checkpoint therapy (ICT) causes durable tumour responses in a subgroup of patients, but it is not well known how T cell receptor beta (TCRβ) repertoire dynamics contribute to the therapeutic response. 

Patient-Derived Orthotopic Xenograft Models for High-Grade Pediatric Brain Cancers

Patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) mouse models are considered the gold standard for evidence-based preclinical research in pediatric neuro-oncology. This protocol describes the generation of PDOX models by intracranial implantation of human pediatric brain cancer cells into immune-deficient mice, and their continued propagation to establish cohorts of animals for preclinical research.

Prognostic significance of molecular subgroups in survival outcome for children with medulloblastoma in Malaysia

Advancements in genomic profiling led to the discovery of four major molecular subgroups in medulloblastoma (MB), which have now been incorporated into the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors. The current study aimed to determine the prognostic significance of the MB molecular subgroups among children in Malaysia.
