Thanks to your donations, the survival rate has jumped from 15 to 82%. In addition to funding clinical research, your donations help Leucan to support and care for hundreds of families and thousands of members through every stage of cancer.

Services tailored
to the needs of families
Leucan provides families with distinctive services, tailored to the needs of hundreds of families of cancer-stricken children: emotional support; socio-recreational activities; playrooms in hospitals; massage therapy; a school awareness program; support services for recovered patients; and end-of-life and bereavement follow-up services.

Support
to research
Clinical research is critical to the constant improvement of treatments. Over the last 20 years, Leucan invested more than $10 million for research in pediatric oncology, making the Association the main funder of this type of research.

Financial assistance
to families
The costs incurred because of cancer are great: accommodations during hospital stays for families from remote regions, gas, meals, and even loss of employment for one parent. Pediatric cancer leads to precarious or extremely precarious financial situations for half of the affected families.*
To alleviate this financial burden, Leucan provides families with an automatic grant so that they can focus on what matters most: their child.


In 2015-16, $760,817 was awarded directly to families of cancer-stricken children.
