Empowering Brain Cancer Research Through Tissue Donation
Pediatric brain cancer research is not proceeding as fast as it could and survival rates have flatlined because tissue for research is scarce.

The precious gift of your child’s autopsy tissue will empower research so breakthroughs can be made and a cure can be found for this devastating disease. Here you will find a listing of some pediatric cancer publications that 1) explain the need for autopsy tissue and 2) highlight some of the research breakthroughs that have been made possible because of autopsy tissue.
