Question 2078 — diseases

Summary

Ms. Maina Sage draws the attention of the Minister of Solidarity and Health to the non-existence of funding dedicated exclusively to research into pediatric cancers. The third cancer plan (2014-2019) set four major objectives, including providing more resources to fundamental research and clinical research. However, research remains, today, mainly focused on adult cancers to the detriment pediatric cancers, often specific. Especially since advances in adult cancer research often remain incompatible with children's illnesses. French Polynesia is particularly sensitive to pediatric cancers, the second cause of death among children - 193 nuclear tests have been carried out in the territory in 30 years. Today, a large proportion of Polynesian children are treated in France. Also, she asks him to please specify the measures envisaged to develop the financing of pediatric oncological research, the effort of which, over the period 2007-2011, represented 10% of the financing of public cancer research.
