Children with Cancer UK, formerly Children With Leukaemia is a British charitable organisation, inaugurated by Diana, Princess of Wales on 12 January 1988, that provides funding for research into the prevention and cure of all childhood cancers including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (lymphoid) (ALL) and Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). It also supports families through welfare programmes and campaigns on their behalf. Children with Cancer UK is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities and the National Cancer Research Institute. The organisation’s objects are〔()〕 *to promote the relief of children and young people suffering from leukaemia or any other form of cancer (and allied disorders) and of their families; *to raise public awareness and knowledge in matters relating to leukaemia or any other form of cancer (and allied disorders) affecting children and young people; *to promote research into the causes, alleviation, prevention, treatment and cure of leukaemia or any other form of cancer (and allied disorders) affecting children and young people and to publish the useful results of such research. Children with Cancer UK was constituted as a charity under a Trust Deed dated 4 January 1988, in memory of Paul O'Gorman who died of leukaemia in February 1987 and his sister Jean, who died in November 1987, also of cancer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.childrenwithcancer.org.uk/our-story )〕 ==Funding research== Children with Cancer UK has become a major funder of scientific research and since 2004 this funding has been granted by a peer-reviewed process as recognised by the Association of Medical Research Charities.〔()〕 Applications for funding are initially reviewed by a panel made up of at least two members of the organisation’s Scientific Advisory Committee〔(Children with Cancer UK: our scientific advisors )〕 and relevant external reviewers from within the appropriate scientific field. This process results in the funding of world-class research. Children with Cancer UK research endeavours to investigate what causes childhood cancer and, ultimately, how to prevent it. Children with Cancer UK is working to develop treatments which are not only more effective, driving up the survival rate, but which are less punishing, reducing the risk of the side-effects associated with current treatments.〔(Children with Cancer UK: fund research )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Children with Leukaemia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
