The Imagine for Margo – Children without Cancer Foundation was created in 2017 under the aegis of the Fondation de France. Its aim is to accelerate research against childhood cancer by funding european research programs to promote discoveries and innovations and thus better care for children with cancer.
Cancer is the leading cause of death of children by disease in Europe: every year 35,000 children are diagnosed with cancer and 6,000 die of it. There are 60 types of cancer, different from adult cancers, making it a rare disease.
European research in oncology is essentially focused on adult cancers, with children’s cancers being more rare and therefore less profitable for the drug industry. Most children with cancer are treated with adult treatments.
Children with cancer need specific and adapted treatments. That’s why the Imagine for Margo – Children without Cancer Foundation collects donations to fund European research programs in order to better understand childhood cancers and develop innovative treatments to better treat them.
ITCC – Innovative Therapies for Children with Cancer – is a European consortium created in 2003 that gathers 54 paediatric oncology and hematology departments and 22 research centers in 13 European countries and Israël.

The SFCE is a scholarly society that regroups more than 400 health professionnals who work on childhood cancer in France, along with parents representatives. Created in 2002, it was recognized as a cooperative group for the clinical research development by the French National Cancer Institute – INCa. Its objective is to develop new treatments, in collaboration with research laboratories dedicated to childhood cancer and involved industrials, thanks to a progression of knowledge on each of those diseases.
