Ground-breaking child-cancer trial kicks off in New Zealand
A ground-breaking trial exploring new treatments for child cancer is launching in New Zealand today, giving high hopes to families like that of 12 year-old Fynn Abbott who was diagnosed with a hard-to-detect type of cancer at the age of seven after several months of misdiagnosis.

This trial, named the Precision Paediatric Cancer Project (PPCP), aims to reduce those numbers.
