How your support helps

We fund vital neuroblastoma research

Thanks to you, Neuroblastoma UK has invested over £7 million to help scientists develop new, effective and kinder treatments for children with neuroblastoma.

We support clinical and near-clinical research and drug development that has the potential to lead to improved treatment protocols. We also support basic research that improves our understanding of how neuroblastomas develop which may lead to novel, more effective approaches to treatment.
