A recent study sheds light on the long-term effects of chemotherapy on healthy blood cells, revealing that treatment can induce mutations and accelerate aging in blood cell populations. These findings are crucial for improving treatments for children with cancer. buff.ly/FsuUp0V

Cambridge scientists funded by @cancerresearchuk.org and based at @crukcamcentre.bsky.social have discovered a promising new treatment approach for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B-ALL)—the most common cancer in children. buff.ly/UUWScph

💛 This summer we had fun supporting the @cuh.nhs.uk Paediatric Oncology Activity Day at @jesuscollegecam.bsky.social – uniting young patients, families, researchers & healthcare teams for 30+ fun activities from tennis to pipetting! #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #CCAM25 @crukcamctya.bsky.social

🧬 Whole genome sequencing is reshaping childhood cancer care. At Cambridge, it’s helping diagnose rare cancers, guide treatment & support families. 🔗 Find out more zurl.co/mYdg3 #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #CCAM25 @crukcamctya.bsky.social

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is becoming increasingly vital in paediatric oncology. However, its full potential is hindered by barriers such as lack of awareness and integration into clinical workflows. buff.ly/rI4LkIk

Neuroblastoma is a childhood cancer of nerve cells, often driven by faults in a gene called ALK. Drugs called ALK inhibitors, like lorlatinib, can help—but some tumours manage to resist these treatments. buff.ly/81QjAsg

Neuroblastoma is a rare childhood cancer that happens when immature nerve cells (called neuroblasts) grow uncontrollably. It mainly affects babies and young children, usually starting in the tummy area or adrenal glands. buff.ly/DvoJ9BB

Cambridge research funded by @cancerresearchuk.org brings new insights into Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and Childhood Cancer. buff.ly/6355Xfl

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we highlight a pivotal study that delves into the genetic underpinnings of testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs), the most common cancer in young men. crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/news/dna-dup...

This #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth meet the Young NHL Network, a group connecting early career researchers in paediatric non-Hodgkin lymphoma to promote collaboration and innovation. Join the network on LinkedIn ➡️ zurl.co/zo70u @crukcamctya.bsky.social youtu.be/SmgPETR-vC0

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we highlight groundbreaking research focused on developing gentler treatments for children with germ cell tumours, aiming to improve survival rates while reducing long-term side effects. crukcambridgecentre.org.uk/news/develop...

A recent study delves into how the protein ASCL1 influences cell reprogramming, a process crucial for developing new therapies for childhood cancers. buff.ly/A8evTnS

This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we highlight two important studies from the Murray lab on bifocal germinomas—rare and complex brain tumours. These studies are advancing our understanding of diagnosis and treatment, offering hope for improved care.

A recent publication from researchers across programmes at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Centre explores gene context drift in cancer therapy resistance in the first ever clinical trial of a targeted therapy in choroid plexus carcinoma. buff.ly/cY7zTOI

A recent case study highlights the diagnosis of Noonan syndrome in a child with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), shedding light on the complex interplay between genetic syndromes and cancer development. buff.ly/rl5cxwM

Cambridge scientists at @crukcamcentre.bsky.social and @sangerinstitute.bsky.social are reshaping Wilms tumour care. Their research brings us closer to kinder, smarter treatments for children. We share three recent publications showing advances in this area.

As part of #CCAM2025, we present the Young NHL Network, a dynamic group fostering collaboration and innovation in cancer research launched by Early-career scientists at @crukcamcentre.bsky.social in the @sdt36suzanne.bsky.social lab. buff.ly/NoszfFJ

The Childhood, Teenage and Young Adult Cancers Programme at @crukcamcentre.bsky.social brings together experts researching childhood cancer from its fundamental biology to new therapy development. buff.ly/XGMfR9B

🎗️ Only 32% of UK adults feel confident recognising childhood cancer symptoms. Knowing the signs saves lives! Learn more about the symptoms and early detection. buff.ly/2ulA6uS

It’s going to be a big #GoldenSeptember2025. September is #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth; a time to support children, families, clinicians & researchers, & highlight the urgent need for progress. Watch for funding announcements, our first CoLabConnect in Melb & the opening of our 25-26 funding round

It’s #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth 🎗️ Each year in the UK, around 70 children are diagnosed with primary bone cancer — enduring decades-old treatment and low survival rates. Help raise awareness so no family faces it alone 🧡 Visit: ow.ly/9mAn50WLTNE #CCAM25 #UntilTheresACure

September is #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, where we'll be shining a spotlight on the unique experiences of children and families affected by neuroblastoma. Learn more about #CCAM👇https://www.solvingkidscancer.org.uk/about-us/childhood-cancer-awareness-month/

🎗️ #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth starts TOMORROW! We’re ready to share stories, updates & everything we’ve been working on behind the scenes. 📲 Turn on notifications & join us in making September one to remember. See the campaign here: bit.ly/45KIgQh #CanSky #ChildhoodCancer #CancerSurvivor
