Basic Plan to Promote Anti-Cancer Measures
New countermeasures for pediatric cancer, the Basic Plan to Promote Anti-Cancer Measures, were enacted in Japan in June 2012. In February 2013, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare elected 15 core hospitals in seven regional blocks in Japan with the aim to provide uniform accessibility to pediatric cancer treatment. The
NCCHD was one of four government-designated core hospitals for pediatric cancer treatment in the Kanto-Koshinetsu Region. Of these core hospitals, the NCCHD along with the National Cancer Center were selected as the two central organizations for pediatric cancer in February 2014.The NCCHD, in cooperation with the Children's Cancer Center, is devoted to finding better treatments for pediatric cancer in Japan. Our mission at the NCCHD is to improve consultation support and long-term follow-up for pediatric cancer patients, collect and disseminate information about pediatric cancer, support clinical trials, provide expert diagnosis and treatment, improve the pediatric cancer registry system, and bolster human resources development.
