Through this partnership with the Children's Cancer Foundation, proceeds from St. Baldrick's head-shaving events in Hong Kong support life-saving childhood cancer research in Hong Kong. This grant has funded four projects. The first project is an extension of a previous grant. It aims to accurately measure treatment response by identifying and counting residual leukemia cells in patients following treatment to avoid under-or over-treatment of the disease in the future. The second project explores cardiac diseases and diseases of the circulatory system, these remain to be important causes of cumulative mortality in the long-term for child cancer patients after cancer therapy. These studies based on multi-modality evaluation of cardiac function, will give long-term monitoring and assessment of treatment-related cardiotoxicity in pediatric cancer survivors. The third project is a study to improve the cure rate of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The research also includes studying any impact of special genetic changes on the treatment outcome. The fourth project aims at investigating the prevalence of sexual and reproductive problems caused by childhood cancer treatment amongst local childhood cancer survivors by conducting questionnaires to assess various aspects, including sexual function, self-esteem and general well-being of a group of patients.

Access to early phase trials is vital to the treatment of pediatric cancers that have relapsed or do not respond to standard therapies. The pediatric oncology department at Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland has made strides to develop an early phase therapeutics program for brain tumors, other solid tumors and relapsed leukemia in conjunction with collaborators on the West Coast. This grant supports the infrastructure to start and maintain the program.

When eligible children with cancer are treated on clinical trials, it provides the best opportunity to observe response to treatment while gathering data that could help improve future therapy. This grant funds trained research staff to enroll eligible children with cancer onto clinical trials, and to collect and manage the research data.
