Childhood Cancers
 |
Cancer is the chief cause of death in children who die
from disease between the ages of 1 and 14. Each year in the US, cancer
kills more children than asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital
anomalies, and AIDS, combined. Currently one in every 330 children in
the United States develops cancer before the age of nineteen. Moreover,
the incidence of cancer among children is increasing.
However, the good news is that due to remarkable progress in the treatment
of childhood cancer, up to 70% of all children with cancer can now be
cured.
