Clinical cancer trials for your child

When your child enrolls in a clinical cancer trial at Advocate Children’s Hospital, you’re opening a world of possibilities.

In both diagnosis and treatment, we’ll make sure your child benefits from today’s most advanced innovations in children’s oncology.

As a member of the Children’s Oncology Group (COG), we’re helping to increase cancer cure rates for children from less than 10 percent in the 1950s to nearly 80 percent at present.
