- Pediatric cancer is considered rare. However, it is the second leading cause of death for children under the age of 15.
- There are almost 200 active pediatric cancer clinical trials in the U.S. right now. Each one is trying to develop new, tailored approach for treating or detecting these devastating diseases.
- Survival rates are increasing! The 5-year survival rate of around 58% in the 1970s is now around 84% and steadily improving.
- Recent campaigns are focused on improving knowledge of the signs and symptoms of pediatric cancer so earlier detection is possible!
