The PPCR supports the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) in its mission to collect, analyze, and share data to improve pediatric cancer outcomes. Great video starring our very own Principal Investigator, Dr. Torunn Yock!
The Childhood Cancer Data Initiative is building a community centered around childhood cancer care and research data, as advocates and researchers explain: cancer.gov/research/areas/ch… @AmandaHaddock

Pediatric cancers comprise a simultaneously rare but highly varied cadre of diseases. Among participants with non-central nervous system tumors in the PPCR, rhabdomyosarcoma (n=366), Ewings sarcoma (n=193), and neuroblastoma (n=177) are the most common.

Check out the article below from Dr. Dora Correia, @The_PT_Explorer, about her time spent in Boston, MA working with @PPCRdata!
lnkd.in/ddKkYFU - #opinion article on #yESTROCorner about my past months in #Boston, #USA. Hopefully, the #internationals who had #grants and decided to cancel them will feel safe to reapply one day... Until then let's be the agent of #change and spread #love, not #virus!
