Abstract

Federal initiatives, including the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative and the Childhood Cancer Survivorship, Treatment, Access, and Research Act, are advancing pediatric cancer data sharing and strengthening infrastructure required for clinical trials, biobanking, and biospecimen collection. These efforts aim to transform pediatric cancer research to ultimately improve treatment outcomes, quality of life, and survivorship.
