Could ‘prehabilitation’ help prepare children with cancer for a stem cell transplant?
Investigating whether diet or lifestyle changes could help children cope with bone marrow transplants better.
Could a medicine called ONC-201 help treat children with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia?
Looking at whether a pre-existing drug could be an effective and safe treatment due to its ability to target cancer cells directly.
What role do small pieces of genetic code play in germ cell tumours?
Investigating how different levels short non-coding RNAs affect germ cell tumour cells, and testing whether medicines altering these levels could be a potential treatment.
