International Childhood Cancer Day brings attention to childhood cancers, supporting their families and focusing on finding a cure.
Within the United States, approximately 12 million cancer survivors are under 21. Seventy-five percent of these children survive ten or more years after treatment.
The most common cancers in children are:
Leukemia: 34%
Brain Tumors/Central Nervous System Tumors: 27%
Lymphoma (Hodgkin & Non-Hodgkin): 8%
The American Society of Clinical Oncology reports:
“Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for developing late effects, which are side effects that occur more than five years after treatment. These can result from both cancer itself and cancer treatment. Because more than 80% of children treated for cancer survive five years or more after treatment and are presumably cured, preventing and recognizing both physical and emotional late effects is an important part of cancer care.”
