Project: EveryChild is a large research registry collecting medical information and biological samples—such as blood, tissue, and bone marrow—from young people with cancer. The study helps doctors understand different types of childhood cancer better and determines which patients might be eligible for future cancer treatment trials. By participating, you help build a valuable resource that researchers will use for many years to come.
Childhood cancers are rare and diverse, making it hard for doctors to match patients with the right clinical trials and to understand what factors affect treatment success. This study creates a centralized database and biobank so researchers can study patterns across many cases and develop better, more personalized treatments for young patients with cancer.

If you enroll, researchers will review your medical records and collect information about your diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes. You will also be asked to provide biological samples—such as blood, bone marrow, tissue, saliva, or urine—either at the time of diagnosis, during treatment, or at other key moments in your care. The study team may also ask permission to contact you in the future about participating in other research studies. There is no specific time commitment beyond the sample collection visits that are part of your regular cancer care.
