Fighting pediatric cancer takes all of us.
Collaboration fuels discovery. Discovery saves lives. That’s why we do what we do.

What we're researching
Children, adolescents and young adults with cancer
We aim to improve outcomes and enhance lives for this important age group through focused research and collaboration.
Bench Research
Innovation starts in the lab. We explore the biological mechanisms of pediatric cancer to develop groundbreaking treatments.
Brain Tumors
By understanding how brain tumors develop and progress, we uncover new treatment approaches to improve survival and quality of life.
Sarcoma
We lead research into various forms of sarcoma, including osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma and many others, to create more effective treatments for young patients.
Survivorship and Supportive Care
From diagnosis to treatment, recovery, and beyond, we’re dedicated to understanding and improving every stage of a patient’s journey.

We are dedicated to defeating solid tumors in a way that enables young cancer patients to thrive throughout their life.
Solid tumors are the rarest and toughest tumors in pediatric cancer. We are working to refine the way we beat cancer for our patients so that both our treatments, and their future years, can be fruitful. We apply a full journey view to our work, solving issues at all different stages of patient care.
This means balancing how much medicine and technology we apply to “win” with careful consideration of survivorship.
One of our upcoming trials focuses on reducing hospital stays.
Starting with patients across the Carolinas, ARISE Cancer Consortium™ offers early access to first-of-their-kind clinical trials, research and therapies.
We’re starting off with a clinical trial aimed at reducing hospital stays. More clinical trials are under development and will be announced soon.
To join the clinical trial, please reach out to your child's cancer care provider directly.


At the heart of ARISE is a nationally renowned team.
Atrium Health Levine Children's Hospital is the lead organization for ARISE Cancer Consortium™, spearheading efforts to bring together top-tier children's hospitals across the region. All clinical trials opened by ARISE will be run by Atrium Health Levine Cancer.
