Across the United States, more than 200 children’s cancer centers that have met the quality assurance standards established by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) comprise a network of hospitals known as the Children’s Oncology Group (COG). This group of institutions work together to implement improved therapies, developed through collaborative clinical-translational research, including large-scale clinical trials that are funded by the NCI. Treatment protocols that are developed through the COG’s clinical trial research network ensure that children with similar diagnoses treated at COG institutions will receive the same treatment, regardless of where they live in the U.S. Source: https://www.acco.org/cog-treatment-centers/
