Research
Treatment for children with cancer is very intensive, at a time when their young bodies are still growing. That’s why we are 100% committed to funding new and innovative research focused on improving the treatment, diagnosis and prognosis of childhood cancer.
Children’s cancer research receives less funding than any other type of cancer. That’s why we focus on kick-starting new ideas to change the outlook for children with cancer.
We support the principle of using animals in research when it is necessary to advance understanding of health and disease and to develop new treatments. This research only takes place where there is no alternative available. Friends of Rosie supports the Association of Medical Research Charities’ position on the use of animals in research as outlined in this statement.
