We are delighted to present the SPOG 2022 Annual report and invite you to read about our research programme, our activities and our success. We are constantly motivated by our mission: “Research – giving a future to children with cancer”.
The 2022 Annual report provides a comprehensive overview of the studies and research projects that we have prepared and conducted in the past 12 months.
At the end of 2022, a total of 30 studies, comprising 16 clinical studies and 14 research projects, were open for patient recruitment. A further 8 studies (4 clinical studies and 4 research projects) had been included in the SPOG research programme but were still at the preparation stage. In addition, 10 studies (8 clinical studies and 2 research projects) were no longer open for recruitment of new patients but the treatment and follow-up of patients who had already been recruited had not yet been completed.
The SPOG Young Investigator (YI) Award is intended to promote young researchers and thus the future of clinical research into childhood cancer in Switzerland. SPOG presented the YI Award for the second time in 2022.
We are especially grateful for the generous support provided by the federal government, foundations, organisations, companies and our dedicated donors. It is thanks to them that we are able to continue our research aimed at improving the treatment and quality of life of children and adolescents with cancer in 2023 and beyond.
As a non-profit organisation we are dependent on external support in our quest to cure children and adolescents with cancer. We are grateful for every single contribution that helps us to give a better future to children and adolescents with cancer.
We would be delighted if you would visit our donations page or subscribe to our newsletter in order to receive more information about research into childhood cancer and our activities. Together we can ensure that children and adolescents with cancer have hope for the future.
