Children's Oncology Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Children's Oncology Group (COG), established in 2000, is a National Cancer Institute-supported cooperative group whose purpose is the study of childhood cancer. It was formed by the merging of four independent groups, the Children's Cancer Study Group (CCG), Pediatric Oncology Group (POG), Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRS), and the National Wilms Tumor Study Group (NWTS).
The COG runs several clinical trials for the treatment of childhood cancer.
