Event Information [update][23 February, 26]Japan-UK Symposium on Children and Young People's Cancer in Tokyo
02/23/26
Outline
The Japan Agency for Medical Research and Development (AMED) promotes cancer research based on the Basic Plan to Promote Cancer Control Programs and the Comprehensive 10-Year Strategy for Cancer Control, which includes fostering an environment for international collaborative clinical trials. Particularly, children’s and young people’s (CYP) cancers fall under the category of rare cancers, and conducting clinical trials poses significant challenges.
As part of this activity, AMED will jointly host a symposium with the UK National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) on CYP cancers, to encourage collaboration between Japan and the UK in CYP cancer research and to discuss future possibilities for international collaboration.
We warmly welcome the participation of CYP cancer patients, their families and carers, as well as researchers in related fields.
This symposium will be recorded and shared among the registered participants/audience.
