The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF) was founded in 1982 to improve the care, quality of life and survival rate of children with malignant diseases. Since its inception, PCRF has raised over $15 million to fund cutting edge research that leads to medically sound treatment protocol for childhood cancers. Much progress has been made. For instance, childhood leukemia, once almost certainly fatal, now has a 70% survival rate. But the battle is far from over – cancer continues to afflict more children under 18 years of age each year than any other disease. PCRF currently funds grants for research in the following areas: stem cell transplantation, stem cell biology, molecular oncology, and molecular and cellular genetics.
