Blood cancers (leukaemias and lymphomas) account for around 40% of cancers diagnosed in children and over a quarter of cancers diagnosed in teenagers and young adults.

While overall survival rates for blood cancer are higher than other types of cancers diagnosed in these age groups, further research is needed to find kinder, more effective treatments, especially for less-common subtypes of blood cancer which tend to have poorer outcomes.

Our Research Funds are part of our exciting plans to fund and support pioneering research into cancers affecting children, teenagers and young adults. You can find out more about the research we're funding on our website.
