When patients and carers are in the room—not just as participants but as partners—research becomes more relevant, inclusive, and impactful. That’s the heart of public involvement in childhood cancer research.

Research is not just about labs and data—it’s about people. Patients and the public play a crucial role in shaping the future of cancer treatment. At @crukcamcentre.bsky.social, we put a priority on partnering with those affected by cancer to ensure research is aligned with real-world needs.

By using two oral drugs together (venetoclax and inobrodib), they’ve shown in preclinical studies the potential to improve outcomes and greatly reduce the need for harsh chemotherapy and its side effects. buff.ly/Nk1ilXg

Whole genome sequencing (WGS) is becoming increasingly vital in paediatric oncology. However, its full potential is hindered by barriers such as lack of awareness and integration into clinical workflows. buff.ly/rI4LkIk

Neuroblastoma is a rare childhood cancer that happens when immature nerve cells (called neuroblasts) grow uncontrollably. It mainly affects babies and young children, usually starting in the tummy area or adrenal glands. buff.ly/DvoJ9BB
