The rate of children dying from cancer has dropped by 22% in the last decade, according to new figures.
Cancer Research UK found that around 330 children in the UK died from cancer each year, but due to better treatments this has now dropped to around 260 each year.
The steepest decline was in leukaemia, the most commonly diagnosed children's cancer, where death rates have almost halved, dropping from around 100 deaths each year to around 55.
Cancer Research said much of this success is due to tackling childhood cancers by combining a number of different chemotherapy drugs.
Professor Pam Kearns, director of the Cancer Research UK Clinical Trials Unit in Birmingham, said: "It's very encouraging to see that fewer children are dying of cancer, but a lot more needs to be done.
"There are still a number of cancers where progress has been limited - such as brain tumours. Cancer Research UK's long-standing commitment to clinical trials for children with cancer has been a major factor in developing today's treatments and is pivotal to ongoing research that will offer new hope to the children and their families.
"Many children who survive cancer will live with the long-term side effects of their treatment that can have an impact throughout their adult lives, so it's vital that we find kinder and even more effective treatments for them."
The new figures are announced as Cancer Research UK and TK Maxx celebrate the 10th anniversary of their partnership and the Give Up Clothes For Good campaign, the UK's biggest clothes collection.
