In Chile and around the world, DIPG has no cure.
But it does have names, families, dreams… and hope.
DIPG (diffuse intermediate-brain glioma) is an extremely aggressive type of brain cancer that primarily affects children. Its diagnosis is devastating: there is no treatment in our country. There are no protocols, no access to clinical trials, no options.
But there are families fighting, searching for answers beyond our borders. People traveling against the clock, who need resources, guidance, companionship, and a support network.
At the Santino Pizarro Carrizo Foundation, we are here to accompany, guide, and fund this journey, connecting those facing DIPG in Chile with the most advanced options worldwide.
Childhood cancer cannot wait.
Help us raise awareness. Help us take action.
In the fight against DIPG
We will finance the first few months of relocation and settling in countries like Spain or the USA, covering key expenses while facilitating access to clinical trials and international support networks.
With you from the very beginning
We support families throughout the entire process, offering personalized guidance from diagnosis to specialized treatments.

What is DIPG?
Diffuse Inflammatory Brainstem Glioma (DIPG) is an aggressive brain tumor that primarily affects children between the ages of 5 and 10. It is located in the brainstem, a critical region that controls vital functions such as breathing and movement.
This type of cancer is difficult to treat due to its infiltration of sensitive brain tissue, which limits surgical options. Although radiation therapy is the standard treatment, current research is exploring innovative therapies such as immunotherapy and oncolytic viruses.
