Setting the Pace
Thanks to major treatment advances, the five-year survival rate for childhood cancer has risen from about 58% in the mid-1970s to about 85% today.
But that’s not good enough. Every child deserves a healthy future, and at Phoenix Children's Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders (CCBD), we are committed to ending childhood cancer once and for all.
That's an ambitious goal, but we believe it's possible. Every day, we're pushing the boundaries of pediatric oncology as we expand our treatment options and develop our bench-to-bedside research efforts.
🎗 Phoenix Children’s was one of the first pediatric cancer programs in the nation to begin offering CAR-T cell therapy to children, and we continue to invest in this and other promising cell therapies.
🎗 We're investigating several new antibodies for pediatric cancers, particularly in neuroblastoma and sarcomas.
🎗 We’re also exploring new ways to increase the number of activated immune cells in the body available to fight cancer.
The exciting work happening at CCBD has the potential to transform the treatment of pediatric cancer and save more children’s lives. Now more than ever, we need your support to continue the fight.
