Paediatric cancers encompass a wide range of rare diseases, with no single country having enough data to conduct the depth and breadth of research needed in these rare and ultra-rare tumours.
The International Childhood Cancer Data Partnership initiative is designed to bridge this gap, bringing together countries with a readiness to share high-quality data to answer critical research questions. The conference will focus on global solutions to sharing clinical and demographic data and will host thematic workshops on data harmonisation, interoperability, governance and management.
Jointly hosted by the French National Cancer Institute and the National Cancer Institute of the United States, the conference is part of the recently established G7 Cancer Alliance.
