The MassGeneral CancerCare for Children participates in two organizations devoted to childhood and adolescent cancer research. They are:

• Children's Oncology Group (COG), a National Cancer Institute-supported clinical trials cooperative group consisting of 238 member institutions which include cancer centers of all major universities and teaching hospitals throughout the United States and Canada.
• The second multi-centered group is Pediatric Brain Tumor Consortium (PBTC). MassGeneral CancerCare for Children is one of ten founding member academic medical institutions. The PBTC is a unique group devoted to further advancing the care, treatment, and research of brain tumors in children. Some of their innovative strategies include new biological therapies and chemotherapy regimens as well as novel neurosurgical procedures and radiation therapy techniques.
