Why St. Jude?
Our laboratories may not be in your communities, but our discoveries are.
Treatments invented at St. Jude have helped push the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to more than 80% since it opened more than 50 years ago. And we won't stop until no child dies from cancer.
Because St. Jude shares the breakthroughs it makes, and every child saved at St. Jude means doctors and scientists worldwide can use that knowledge to save thousands more children.
St. Jude is where doctors often send their toughest cases, because St. Jude has some of the world’s best survival rates for some of the most aggressive forms of childhood cancer.
St. Jude treats children from all 50 states and around the world.
