ACCESS is a national research network empowering the Canadian childhood cancer community to transform the health and experiences of children and their families. It is the expert voice of pediatric cancer research and care in Canada.

Despite significant advances in pediatric cancer research globally over the past 30 years, challenges in the treatment and care for hard-to-treat pediatric cancers and the long term late-effects of cancer treatments remain.

Canada’s collective capacity for world-leading science and clinical programs can provide high-quality, equitable, efficient, and sustainable systems of care for all children with cancer. But only if we work together.

ACCESS is integrating the voice of people with lived experience with those of researchers, healthcare providers, industry leaders, and partner organizations who are committed to achieving better health outcomes and quality of life for children with cancer and their families. By doing so, ACCESS is advancing pediatric cancer experience, science and survivorship – and transforming lives.
