September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month – designated to raise support and fund research.
Each year more than 300,000 children worldwide are diagnosed with cancer and 70% of children who survive cancer suffer long-term effects from their treatment.
The most common childhood cancers are acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), brain and other central nervous system (CNS) tumors, and neuroblastoma. Collectively, these cancers account for about half of all new cases each year.
Children’s cancers are not always treated like adult cancers. Pediatric oncology is a medical specialty focused on the care of children with cancer. It’s important to know that this expertise exists and that there are effective treatments for many childhood cancers.
By raising awareness and funding research, we can change the future of children with cancer and their families.
