September is a time to honor and support the brave children and families affected by cancer. These children endure grueling treatments, countless hospital visits, and the emotional strain of living with a life-threatening illness. Their families, too, bear the weight of this journey, often facing financial hardships, emotional exhaustion, and the fear of the unknown.
Did You Know?
Genetic Factors: Nearly 10% of children with cancer develop the disease due to an inherited genetic mutation, underscoring the critical need for ongoing research into genetic testing and personalized treatments. Each day in the U.S., 43 children are diagnosed with cancer, making it a significant concern for many families. On a global scale, around 400,000 children and adolescents develop cancer every year, yet only half of them are diagnosed. This stark reality emphasizes the importance of early detection and the potential role that genetic research could play in identifying at-risk children sooner.
Long-Term Health: More than 95% of childhood cancer survivors will face significant chronic health issues as a result of their treatment. Addressing these long-term challenges is essential to providing comprehensive care for survivors. This approach ensures that they not only survive cancer but also lead healthy, fulfilling lives. The prevalence of childhood cancer, combined with the substantial number of survivors facing lifelong health issues, highlights the urgent need for continued advancements. Both treatment and post-treatment care require ongoing improvement to better support these survivors.
