Expert Committees

Finding cutting edge personalized treatments options, and making them accessible.

MyChild’sCancer is a pioneering initiative uniting expert committees and personalized treatment research to empower families in caring for children facing pediatric cancer. Our international committees, such as the Brain Tumor Committee, Solid Tumor Committee, and Neuroblastoma Committee, bring together world-renowned specialists to cover every aspect of these challenging cancers. MyChild’sCancer offers direct access to leading cancer experts, providing comprehensive file reviews, personalized second opinions, and telehealth sessions.
Our commitment is to support families by providing access to life-saving information and facilitating the best possible care for children facing these challenging cancers. With MyChild’sCancer, parents and treating doctors gain insights into the latest treatment options, ensuring informed decisions and ongoing support throughout the child's journey. Join us in making a profound difference in the lives of young cancer patients and their families.

Long-Term Side Effects Program

Beating cancer isn't the finish line — most childhood cancer survivors will face at least one long-term health effect from the very treatments that saved their lives. Through in-person conferences and online webinars, MyChild'sCancer brings survivorship experts directly to families and community doctors, sharing practical, plain-language guidance on what to watch for long after active treatment ends.
We're also thinking beyond the room: MyChild'sCancer is developing a new mobile app to bring this knowledge directly into survivors' hands — pairing the same expert-vetted guidance with the technology to make it accessible anytime, anywhere. It's the next step in how we turn cutting-edge medical knowledge into an everyday tool families can actually use.
MyChild'sCancer never provides medical advice. We facilitate access to vetted information and lived experience; every medical decision stays between a family and their care team.

Life after treatment, made clearer. And safer.

WikiCancer

Sharing the knowledge. Bridging the disparity. 

WikiCancer is the largest database of up-to-date medical knowledge and individual parent testimonials, providing parents and caregivers access to potentially life-saving information that cannot be easily gleaned from doctors or online searches. WikiCancer empowers parents by giving them access to cutting-edge information and research. This allows them to better advocate for their children, make informed decisions, and be part of the conversation, which can lead to better outcomes for their children fighting cancer.

International Tumor Boards & Conferences

Uniting global experts to advance pediatric cancer care.

Our inaugural conference in June 2023 gathered neuro-oncologists from across the country, featuring Prof. Eric Bouffet from Toronto and Prof. Jonathan Finlay from California, sharing the latest advances in brain tumor treatment. 
MyChild'sCancer has grown this model into an ongoing series of conferences and educational seminars. 
On top of our periodic International Tumor Boards, each year we bring together specialists from our Brain, Solid Tumor, and Neuroblastoma committees, as well as long term side effects program, to share cutting-edge research directly with the doctors and families who need it most.

Advocacy & Support

At MyChild’sCancer, we offer crucial support services to families relocating to the United States for pediatric cancer treatment. Our dedicated Family Coordinators assist with housing, transportation, school transitions, and cultural adjustments, aiming to provide a robust support system. Beyond relocation, we engage with healthcare providers, translating medical documents, facilitating second opinions, and assisting in negotiating medical bills. Through patient advocacy, we empower families to actively participate in their child's treatment, enhancing the chances of survival.
