FACTS ABOUT CHILDHOOD CANCER

  • In 2023, it is estimated that about 15,000 children and adolescents were diagnosed with cancer in the United States.

  • Childhood cancer is not one disease – there are more than 12 major types of pediatric cancers and over 100 subtypes.

  • Cancer is the number one cause of death by disease among children. Worldwide, 100,000 children lose their lives every year to cancer.

  • Only six drugs have been approved in the first instance for use in children. This is compared with hundreds of drugs that have been developed and approved for adults.

  • Despite numerous clinical trials, a diagnosis of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is typically terminal, with only 10% of DIPG patients surviving for even two years after diagnosis.

  • More than 95% of childhood cancer survivors will have a significant health related issue by the time they are 45 years of age; these health related issues are side-effects of either the cancer or more commonly, the result of its treatment.
