Page "Osteosarcoma" Paragraph 42

In the UK and Ireland The Bone Cancer Research Trust ( BCRT ) funds research and provides information on Osteosarcoma and other bone cancers.

This includes information for teenagers who have this condition.

In the US the Non-Profit Organization Triumph Over Kid Cancer Foundation helps to not only raise awareness about Osteosarcoma, they also help raise funds to try to improve treatment and survivability of Pediatric Bone Cancer.

90 % of our their proceeds go to research and M. D.

Anderson Cancer Hospital MATCHES those funds Dollar for Dollar and use all funds for research in Pediatric Sarcoma.

The work will be done under the auspices of the Children's Sarcoma Initiative, and will feature a committee to solicit new research ideas in this area and fund those most likely to lead to progress.

Also, because early diagnosis greatly improves prognosis, they work on educational efforts to increase awareness of bone cancer's signs and symptoms in parents and their pediatricians.

Finally, since the life of pediatric bone cancer patients is so difficult, TOKC sets aside 10 % of our proceeds to help fund the Sunshine Kids Organization which works tirelessly to bring some brief periods of happiness to the lives of these children.
