Childhood Cancer Sponsorship

Support the team of researchers fighting childhood cancers

Month after month, your sponsorship accelerates research on childhood cancers, leading to new breakthroughs.

Pediatric cancers remain a rare disease, yet they are the leading cause of death from disease among children in France and Europe. Each year in France, 2,500 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer, and 500 die from it.

It is for these young patients that the cutting-edge expertise of Dr. Birgit Geoerger and Dr. Jérôme Salmon’s research team is absolutely essential—it is for them that your sponsorship makes a direct difference.

• 2,500 new cases per year
• The leading cause of disease-related death among children
• 20% still cannot be cured
• Two-thirds of children who are cured live with irreversible aftereffects

Through your sponsorship, become a driving force for innovation and accelerate research on childhood cancers, directly benefiting patients!

Innovating to improve the treatment of childhood cancers: three flagship research programs:

● Defining new therapeutic targets that take into account the genetic and immunological environment of tumors
● Identifying molecular alterations in advanced pediatric cancers and understanding their role in treatment
resistance ● Developing targeted therapies to combat molecular abnormalities

Objective: to develop innovative therapeutic strategies to treat childhood cancers resistant to current treatments

Benefits for patients:
● Administer the most effective treatment immediately upon diagnosis
● Prevent and predict the risk of relapse
● Increase survival rates for children with cancer

Annual program budget: €150,000

Becoming a sponsor means taking part in a great scientific adventure every day

What if, for just €8.50 a month*, you could help accelerate research on childhood cancers?

With a regular donation of at least €25 per month (or €8.50 after tax deduction), you become a valued partner of your research team.

Your sponsorship provides essential support for bringing innovative projects against childhood cancers to fruition.

Dr. Birgit Geoerger, Pediatric Oncologist and Head of the “Development of Innovative Therapies for Pediatric Tumors” Laboratory

Sponsorships are essential to our research……And it’s not just about financial support. Knowing that sponsors are standing by our side provides real moral support for my team and me. Their commitment is vital to advancing our research and launching innovative projects more quickly. I appreciate meeting with our sponsors because these encounters give us the opportunity to update them on our latest advances and share our hope of finding cures for childhood cancers.

Dr. Jérôme Salmon, Researcher in the “Development of Innovative Therapies for Pediatric Tumors” laboratory

Without you, we would not be able to carry out certain research projects… For many years, the Department of Pediatric and Adolescent Oncology and Dr. Birgit Geoerger’s team have been working to improve the care and treatment of pediatric cancers. Today, joint advances in genomics, immunology, and bioinformatics have ushered in a new era—that of molecular medicine—and give us more reason than ever to be optimistic. Your ongoing support is crucial to accelerating the transfer of knowledge from basic research to therapeutic innovation and, together, helping children with cancer overcome their disease.
