Zero Childhood Cancer
ZERO CHILDHOOD CANCER PROGRAM
The Zero Childhood Cancer Program (ZERO) is a world-leading personalised medicine program for children with cancer.
Through the collaborative efforts of dedicated researchers and clinicians, we aim to continually improve outcomes for children with cancer, to reach our goal of zero children dying from childhood cancer. Up to now, ZERO has only been available to children and young people with a less than 30% chance of survival. But by the end of 2023, all children diagnosed with cancer in Australia will have access to this ground-breaking program, irrespective of their cancer type, or prognosis.
Every child taking part in the program has a sample from their cancer sent to the Children’s Cancer Institute’s laboratories. Here, our researchers analyse the cancer on a molecular level to identify which drug or drugs are most likely to be effective against it. An expert team then uses the results from all these tests to develop a personalised treatment plan – a plan that is specifically tailored to suit that individual child.
Worldwide, about 400,000 new cases of cancer are diagnosed each year in children and adolescents
Cancer kills three children every week in Australia - more than any other disease.
70% of children who survive cancer suffer long-term effects from their treatment.
WHY IS ZERO SO IMPORTANT?
Just 60 years ago childhood cancer was almost always fatal. Today, thanks to medical research eight out of ten children will survive their cancer. But despite that cancer still kills more Australian children than any other disease – three children every week. ZERO exists for these kids. We aim to go from three to two to one to zero children dying from cancer. And with your support we know we will get there.
ZERO exists to give each and every child the best possible chance of survival.
THE ZERO PROGRAM’S CLINICAL TRIAL SUCCESS
Since September 2017, the Zero Childhood Cancer Program has been running a national clinical trial that includes around 650 children. Preliminary results show that we have been able to recommend a personalised treatment plan for almost three quarters of these children, in a turnaround time of only seven weeks.
Ellie’s story (see Ellie’s story: here) showcases the power of this amazing program – the power to save lives.

WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
We believe the Zero Childhood Cancer Program holds the key to saving the lives of all kids with cancer, and with the support of Bing Lee and their valued customers, we will cure every child. As leading philanthropic partners, we would be proud to have your family, employees and customers come with us on this journey.
The average cost for a child to receive this complex testing and analysis is $20K.
Time is critical, these are children with the highest risk cancers, who need the support of this life-saving program to give them the best possible chance of survival.
ZERO relies on the support of philanthropy and community contributions to keep going. There is still much that needs to be done to fund this clinical trial until completion. Your support is critical in making this happen.
Working together, we believe that you can help us get one step closer to making zero not just a number but a reality.
Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute
VICTOR CHANG INSTITUTE
The Victor Chang Institute was established in 1994 in the memory of renowned heart surgeon Victor Chang and has been providing support and research to combat heart disease. Bing Lee has proudly supported the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute over the years.
THE HOME OF HEART RESEARCH
The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute is Australia's home of heart research, dedicated to finding cures for cardiovascular disease.
The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute is renowned for the quality of its scientific discoveries and is dedicated to finding cures for cardiovascular disease through world-class and cutting-edge medical research.
The team at the Institute is working urgently to discover better ways of understanding, diagnosing, treating, and preventing the onset of heart disease and is committed to ensuring its research breakthroughs are translated into advances in clinical care.
Founded in 1994, the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute was established in honour of the legendary heart transplant surgeon, Dr Victor Chang AC. In 1996, the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute was officially opened in Sydney Australia, by the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
Beginning with just two scientists, it now has over 230 scientists, doctors, and staff working together across 23 laboratories across the country. Regarded as Australia’s home of heart research, the Institute has earned its place on the global stage as one of the most respected medical research facilities in the world.
In 2022, the Institute expanded its national footprint by establishing a new heart disease research hub at the University of Western Australia. This will allow researchers and scientists to accelerate life-saving discoveries that will benefit all Australians and deliver international impact.
THE MISSION
"The relief of pain and suffering, and the promotion of well-being, through an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of cardiovascular biology in health and disease."
