Programs & Support

POGO is here to help children, families, survivors and others affected by childhood cancer.

Childhood cancer is rare, so when it is suspected in someone under the age of 18, it is essential that assessment take place at a specialty childhood cancer program. Research has shown that the best results for children occur in these settings.

Children usually have cancers that are different from those occurring in adults. Medical needs, quality of life, coping, drug counselling, nutrition and other needs are best addressed by pediatric oncology teams made up of different kinds of professionals such as pediatric oncologists, pediatric oncology nurses, psychologists, child life specialists, social workers, pharmacists, nutritionists, and others who have experience with families of children with cancer.

“Going through cancer treatment as a teenager is an emotionally challenging, lonely experience. Having my friends around me and the many supports from POGO really helped.”
– Lauren Donnelly, Survivor
