More than 600 Australian children will be diagnosed with cancer this year. This week alone, three Australian children will die of cancer
Children's Cancer Institute Australia for Medical Research (CCIA) is the only independent medical research institute in Australia dedicated to research into the causes, prevention, better treatments and ultimately a cure for childhood cancer.
Our vision is to save the lives of all children with cancer and eliminate their suffering. Our mission is to be a leader in preventing cancer and finding ways of curing cancer in children through world-class research. We want to ensure the best possible quality of life for these children and their families and share our vision with others to increase awareness, participation and funding.
CCIA has recently moved to a new purpose built facility that will bring us closer to achieving our vision to save the lives of all children with cancer and eliminate their suffering. The Lowy Cancer Research Centre, located at University of New South Wales (Kensington campus), will be one of the leading cancer research centres in the world integrating childhood and adult cancer research and taking a holistic approach to cancer across the life spectrum.
