Research in pediatric ependymoma in Vall d'Hebron

Its treatment is based on surgery accompanied by radiotherapy or chemotherapy, but is usually limited by its complicated location and the risk of damaging vital brain structures.

Pulseras Candela
The Pulseras Candela association was born in 2013, when Candela, a girl with leukemia, began making bracelets with her friends and the children and adolescents who shared a floor in the hospital with her. Their families created the association to preserve their solidarity project and encourage research to improve the treatment and survival of patients, along with the collaboration of volunteers, companies and the whole society that has led this project to be one of the main promoters of childhood cancer research in our country.
