Strategic Plan
As a pan-Canadian pediatric cancer network dedicated to advancing childhood cancer experience, science and survivorship, we firmly believe that our collective expertise is our greatest asset.
Through strategic discussions and collaborative thinking as a unified team, we can tackle long-standing challenges with fresh perspectives. By doing so, we aim to significantly enhance the quality of life for children living with cancer and their families.
We are now embarking on the development of a network-wide strategic plan in consultation with the broader pediatric community. The needs of the community will direct and guide the strategic priorities of the Network.
In Canada, approximately 1,500 children and adolescents are diagnosed with pediatric cancer each year.
Children with refractory, relapsed, or metastatic cancer face an overall survival rate of less than 15%.
More than 80% of adult survivors of childhood cancer experience long-term side effects.
