🎗️ September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️ Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a form of diffuse midline glioma (DMG), is the most deadly childhood cancer and, tragically, has no cure. Most children survive only months after diagnosis. At Dynamic Devices, we are honored that Professor Matt Dun and the Cancer Signalling Research Group at the University of Newcastle use our Lynx liquid handling platform—affectionately known as “JEM-Bot”—to accelerate #DIPG research. Professor Dun’s work is deeply personal—after losing his four-year-old daughter, Josephine (“Josie”), to DIPG, he dedicated his career to finding better treatment strategies for children and families facing this devastating disease. As part of the research and testing process, the Dun Lab Team uses JEM-Bot to: 🔬 Achieve >400x more testing throughput – completing in a week what used to take two months, and screening multiple drug combinations in the growth pattern of DIPG cells. ✅ Eliminate human error – preventing 15-20% of tests from needing to be repeated. ⏱ Deliver faster, more detailed results – enabling double/triple drug combination testing and complex dosing schedules to better predict which treatments could help patients. But this progress depends on continued support. Donations to RUN DIPG directly fund new equipment, expand research capabilities, and help bring innovative clinical trials to children and families sooner. 🔗 Learn more and support the cause: https://rundipg.org/ 💛 Together, we can turn awareness into action—and bring hope to children fighting DIPG. #RUNDIPG #MovingTowardsACure #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #MedicalResearch #DunLab

An important article on the challenges (mainly entirely man-made rather than scientific) of international clinical trials. This gives a UK-centred perspective, but the issues are no less relevant for Canada, particularly as we reflect on the extent to which research for children with cancer in Canada has come to rely so heavily on funding from the US NIH.
To make progress on therapy for Children's and Young People's cancer we have to get more international trials going. 👉 The brilliant researchers and trialists that work in this area need access to young patients from multiple nations to ensure trials run successfully. 👉 BUT - this is notoriously tricky... funding, regulations and any number of bureaucratic hurdles stand stubbornly in the way. So - how do these actually impact a study, and how might they be overcome? Well, thanks to John Moppett (University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust) and Bernadette Brennan (Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital) the excellent Seren Limb found out... https://lnkd.in/e77S9mxc

✅ We are continuing to spotlight the Top 10 Research Priorities identified by the Australian Child and Adolescent Cancer Priority Setting Partnership to raise awareness and ensure these priorities lead future research. These priorities were identified through the James Lind Alliance methodology, involving young people with cancer, parents, carers, and clinicians. Together, they decided what matters most. Watch Maya Oldroyd, a vibrant 16-year-old childhood cancer survivor with a sparkling personality, shares her experience and highlight how these priorities, especially the first two, deeply resonate with her lived experience. 📣Top 10 Childhood Cancer Research Priorities for Australia https://lnkd.in/gyEZfQXw These are not just research questions, but are concerns, needs, and hopes from survivors, families, and clinicians. When research reflects the voices of those who live it, it becomes truly transformative. 📢 Let’s listen, act, and align research with these priorities. Join in. Share widely. 📸 Sheila Patel QUT (Queensland University of Technology) Natalie Bradford #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #CancerResearch #PSP #JLA #SurvivorVoices #ResearchPriorities #TranslationalResearch #HealthPolicy #ImpactDrivenResearch #AustralianEvidence

🎗️ September – Childhood Cancer Awareness Month Lynch syndrome is a hereditary cancer predisposition that impacts not just individuals, but entire families. Early detection of this risk means protecting adults today and safeguarding children and future generations tomorrow. The European project PREDI-LYNCH, funded by the European Commission, is developing non-invasive tools to improve the early detection of Lynch syndrome–related cancers, helping families benefit from earlier prevention and more personalized care. Our thanks to Prof. Patrick Benusiglio, Prof. Alex Duval, and all the teams collaborating on this important program. If you have a family history of Lynch-related cancers (colon, endometrium, etc.), talk to your physician — a genetic test or risk evaluation may be worthwhile.

Early detection saves lives—and now, thanks to Mass General Brigham's Community Care Vans, preventative cancer screenings and social care support are reaching more people in our local communities than ever before. LeMay Family Goodworks is honored to partner in this effort, ensuring more families have access to early detection, resources, and care that can truly change lives. In just one month, the vans have already engaged with over 100 individuals eligible for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Many have completed stool-based FIT testing, and one patient has already been navigated to colonoscopy. With services offered in multiple languages and social care support for uninsured and underinsured patients , the vans are breaking down barriers to early detection and improving outcomes in communities for all. We're proud to support this program-and this is only the beginning.

Each year in Canada, there are over 1500 children who face a cancer diagnosis – but the journey doesn’t end when treatment does. Survivors of childhood cancer need lifelong follow-up care tailored to their unique treatment history. In Ontario alone, more than 14,000 pediatric cancer survivors need reliable, up-to-date, and accessible information about their health. That’s where Passport for Care (PFC) comes in – a powerful digital platform with the potential to transform how survivors across Canada manage their long-term health.
