Scientific Advisory Board

In 2019 we set up our first Scientific Advisory Board to help assess the requests we receive for funding research projects. We are honoured to have exceptional experts in the area of neuroblastoma. With their expertise, we will be able to ensure we fund the most promising meaningful research in line with our mission; developing better, safer and kinder treatments so all children diagnosed with neuroblastoma get the chance to grow up and lead a long and healthy life.

  • What is neuroblastoma?

    Neuroblastomas are cancers that start in early nerve cells (called neuroblasts) of the sympathetic nervous system. This means that tumours can be found anywhere along this system; most commonly (about 50%) start in the adrenal glands (above the kidney), or near the spine, chest, neck or pelvis.

  • Detection, diagnosis & staging

    Detection, diagnosis & staging

    Most symptoms of neuroblastoma are caused by the growth of the cancer into nearby tissues or organs, or its spread to distant parts of the body such as bones or bone marrow.
