Childhood Cancer Data Initiative

The Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) is a program aimed at improving the understanding and treatment of childhood cancers. Launched by the National Cancer Institute, it combines data from various sources, including hospitals and research institutions, to create a comprehensive database. This data helps researchers identify patterns, discover new treatment options, and ultimately improve outcomes for children with cancer. By fostering collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and families, the initiative seeks to ensure that every child diagnosed with cancer benefits from the latest scientific insights and therapies.
