Every child with cancer deserves the best treatment and care!

Globally, every year, it is estimated that more than 400,000 children and adolescents below 20, are diagnosed with cancer (WHO 13 December 2021). That means, worldwide, every 3 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer!

The rate of survival depends on the region, with 80% survival in most High-Income Countries, but as low as 20% in Low-and-Middle-Income Countries. Most childhood cancers can be cured with available medicines and other forms of treatment, including surgery and radiotherapy. Only 29% of Low-Income Countries report that cancer medicines are generally available to their populations compared to 96% of High-Income Countries.

The cost of treatment of childhood cancer is also generally cost-effective in most income groups. In other words, the death of many children and teenagers from cancer could be avoided.  Avoidable deaths from childhood cancers are generally from a lack of diagnosis, misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, obstacles to accessing care, abandonment of treatment, death from toxicity, and relapse.
