Children diagnosed with a blood cancer undergo an intensive and highly toxic treatment regimen that can last up to 9 months, with the majority of that time spent in hospital. Diagnoses and treatments are stuck in the past.
Severe immune suppression resulting from the blood cancer and the high dose chemotherapy means already very sick children face a significant risk of dying from infection during their treatment.
While high intensity chemotherapy and/or bone marrow transplant can cure cancer in many children, a significant number of children who survive will endure life-long and life-altering side effects. These include cardiac toxicities, cognitive issues or diagnosis of a secondary cancer later in life and infertility.
There is a critical need to better understand how blood cancer develops and to identify ways in which cancer cells learn to evade and resist therapy. This enhanced understanding will pave the way for development of new and improved ways to treat children in better ways with increased efficacy and reduced toxicity.

Cancer can affect anyone at any time. Every day at Hudson, researchers are working to help find cures and treatments that could one day help your family, or someone close to you.
They are working to understand how blood cancer develops in children, and to identify ways in which cancer cells learn to evade and resist therapy. This is critical to finding better ways to treat children with cancer. We are working to ensure better efficacy and to reduce toxicity from cancer treatments for children.
Our teams are leaders in children’s cancer research. This work is critical. It could help someone you love. And we need the support of generous donors to power this work.
