The Cura Placida Foundation has set itself the goal of improving cancer treatments for children. Since its founding in 2011, the foundation has been able to invest 200,000 to 500,000 euros per year in child cancer research.

Some research successes have already been achieved through the financial support of the foundation. Cancer is the catastrophe of growth, an industrial accident during growth, a stroke of fate, says Prof. Stefan Burdach. The driver of the cancer cells so-called driver that causes cancer can be found very easily in adults.
