It enables researchers to link clinical data with tumor biospecimens, supporting precision medicine and improving treatment for common and rare cancers. The project aims to collect biological samples and health information from every child (aged 26 and under) diagnosed with cancer at COG institutions to understand disease causes and improve care. It maintains a secure, large-scale database of clinical data and a biorepository of specimens, including tumor, blood, saliva, or tissue samples, collected at diagnosis, progression, or relapse. It helps determine patient eligibility for COG therapeutic clinical trials. Provides data for molecular characterization, aiding in the development of targeted therapies. less

Over 40 leading children's hospitals across the United States have joined the Sunshine Project Consortium because they believe in a singular mission: to find more effective and less toxic treatments for childhood cancer. The Sunshine Project has a 15-year track record of conducting novel treatment trials for children whose cancers were not curable by standard treatments. NPCF now find themselves at a critical juncture: it is clear that childhood cancer is too complex to expect one new treatment to cure all patients, or even to cure all patients with certain cancer types. To overcome this hurdle, the Sunshine Project has launched a multipronged assault on childhood cancer from many angles. less
