They say it’s not easy being green… sunny days are ahead.
Learn more on June 9th.

Today marks the last day of National Cancer Research Month, but COG’s commitment to cancer research continues.
We remain steadfast in our vision of a future where no child or adolescent dies of cancer and where survivors live healthy, fulfilling lives.

Cancer has no boundaries. That didn’t stop The Morgan Adams Foundation & Robert Connor Dawes Foundation from uniting across the globe to fund research for ependymoma patients.

This National Cancer Research Month, we’re reminded that progress is powered by collaboration. United by cancer research means working together across institutions, networks, and discoveries so progress never stops.

In 2025 COG celebrated 25 years of leadership in pediatric cancer research. On June 9, we begin sharing what the future looks like.

The ability to recruit participants nationwide helps fill trials faster, ensure diverse participation, and expand access to the latest therapies for more children. COG’s network exemplifies National Cancer Research Month 2026’s theme, “United in Cancer Research.”

[Children’s Oncology Group @COGorg]

May is National Cancer Research Month. This year, the AACR is highlighting the theme “United by Cancer Research.” Throughout May, COG will share stories that show how our global network unites experts and institutions to drive breakthroughs in pediatric oncology research.

In 2024, a trial focused on improving treatment for the most common pediatric cancer was closed 2 years early thanks to collaboration across the COG network. That speed matters to kids with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, a rapidly progressing cancer.

Pediatric cancers are biologically different from adult cancers. And, every child’s biology is unique. Project:EveryChild allows researchers to study over 400k biospecimens to better understand pediatric cancers & design more precise treatments.

COG patients advance research through clinical trials. Some, like Jennifer, go further—helping shape the protocols that guide future care.
Better outcomes depend on more than discovery. They require research built with patients in mind.

In the United States, 16k new pediatric and adolescent cancer diagnoses are made each year. COG members work tirelessly toward a future where every child has a cure.

Thanks to research led by Dr. Ted Laetsch, the littlest cancer patients can access an extremely effective frontline treatment with far fewer side effects than multiple rounds of chemotherapy. Read more: https://t.co/Z0DrYBuMfE

Adolescent & young adult patients often fall between pediatric and adult cancer care. At COG, Dr. Michael Roth is helping bridge that gap—bringing insights from adult oncology into pediatric trials to improve access & treatment options.
