Press release – Children and Young People Cancer Taskforce launched to save lives

Government bringing together experts in the field to drive forward progress in tackling cancer in children and young people. The taskforce presents an opportunity to act and will consider genomic treatments, new diagnosis tools, research and innovation.

The taskforce’s areas of focus will include:

  • DNA testing and treatment – ensuring children and young people get access to high-quality personalised therapies, new treatments and personalised medicines are more readily available, and the offer in the devolved administrations is examined
  • detection and diagnosis – giving children the best chance to beat cancer through earlier diagnosis, improving training, exploring how artificial intelligence can further support the workforce and raising awareness so people come forward sooner
  • investment in research and innovation – improving the targeting of research funding, reviewing children’s access to clinical trials, gaining greater access to data (including potential data-sharing arrangements with Australia) to inform future therapies and treatments in England, and encouraging teams to consider innovative solutions
