Research takes time. For children facing cancer, there’s no time to waste. After losing his son Andrew to leukemia, Joe McDonough made supporting research his mission. For Joe and all of us at COG, every advance matters because every child matters. childrensoncologygroup.org/b…

COG Chair Dr. Doug Hawkins and keynote speaker Dr. Julius Thomas shared an inspiring fireside chat on COG’s impact and the power of sharing our story. Thank you, Dr. Thomas, for energizing us, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals for sponsoring our keynote!

The 2026 COG Fall Group Meeting starts today. Members of the COG community will come together to share research updates, exchange ideas, and strengthen the collaboration that advances childhood and adolescent cancer research. Here’s to a week of turning findings into futures.

Every advance in childhood cancer research matters. Our goal: every child survives and thrives. As Awareness Month ends, stay involved. Read our reflection, sign up for occasional updates, or explore ways to give. childrensoncologygroup.org/b…

After losing his son Riley to pediatric cancer, Neil Koontz turned a favorite hobby into a way to give back. His first gaming stream to benefit COG exceeded its goal, and he’s doing it again Oct. 10. Watch or support: twitch.tv/buggy52

When Jane Pfeiffer began working with COG, she discovered that her son Riley’s leukemia trial years earlier had been led by COG. This #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, his story reminds us: behind every finding are patients and families who help move research forward.

Behind every advance in childhood cancer research is an extraordinary network of people working together-with patients and families at its center. This #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth, COG’s Group Chair and Vice Chair reflect on the progress and work ahead: childrensoncologygroup.org/b…

Go behind the scenes to see how a collaborative network of people helped move a straightforward idea toward a clinical trial that could make cancer treatment safer for children: childrensoncologygroup.org/b…

Young cancer survivors need care that recognizes all they have endured and supports all they still hope to become. Helping young people survive cancer means helping them move forward too. childrensoncologygroup.org/b…

Decades of research have given more children the chance to grow up. But some children still need better treatment options, and many survivors face lifelong side effects. We celebrate every step forward while continuing to pursue safer, more effective treatments for every child.

This National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we’re honoring the people and experiences behind childhood cancer research, including patients and families, survivors, families who have experienced loss, and the teams advancing the work. #nationalchildhoodcancerawarenessmonth

Before a new cancer treatment can advance to larger trials, researchers need evidence that it is safe and could be effective. COG’s PEP-CTN evaluates promising therapies for children with cancer and helps determine which are ready to move forward. childrensoncologygroup.org/a…

Some childhood cancers affect fewer than 100 children each year. Project:EveryChild brings samples and data from patients across the COG network together, giving researchers the scale needed to study even the rarest cancers. Learn More: childrensoncologygroup.org/a…

Behind every Children's Oncology Group clinical trial is years of collaboration to ensure each study can answer meaningful questions and improve care for children and adolescents with cancer. Learn more: childrensoncologygroup.org/b…

Every new treatment begins with a clinical trial. A new COG Phase 3 study aims to reduce relapse and lessen long-term side effects for children with T-cell blood cancers. childrensoncologygroup.org/a…

No single hospital can solve childhood cancer alone. COG connects 13,500+ experts across 220+ institutions to speed discoveries, expand access to clinical trials, and develop better treatments for kids with cancer. Learn how: childrensoncologygroup.org/a…
