The Reality of Childhood Cancer
The Devastating Impact of Childhood Cancer
Let’s take a moment to understand the scope of childhood cancer. Though it is rare compared to adult cancers, childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children in many parts of the world. Each diagnosis affects not just the child, but the entire family, bringing emotional, financial, and psychological challenges. Every year, thousands of families are thrust into a world of uncertainty and fear when their child is diagnosed with cancer.
- Childhood cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children.
- Over 15,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year in the U.S. alone.
- Over 75,000 children are currently under going tratment in the the U.S.
- The ordeal treatment is grueling and filled with emotional, financial, and psychological challenges.
- Childhood cancer survivors are as much as 90 percent more likely than other adults to experience chronic health conditions later in life including cancer relapse.
