International Childhood Cancer Day (ICCD), observed annually on February 15th, is a global campaign to raise awareness and to express support for children and adolescents with cancer, survivors, and their families. There are approximately 400,000 children and adolescents 0-19 years old diagnosed with cancer each year worldwide. Despite advances in treatment, cancer is among their leading causes of death, emphasizing the need for continued research and improved treatments. The most common cancers in children differ significantly from those seen in adults, with leukemia (such as acute lymphoblastic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia), brain cancers, lymphomas, solid tumors like neuroblastoma (in infants and young children), and Wilms tumor (a kidney cancer) being among the most prevalent. These cancers have varied prognoses and treatment options, which have improved over the years, leading to increased survival rates. However, high-income countries see survival rates of 80% or more, while low- and middle-income countries have survival rates of less than 20%. ICCD serves to raise awareness and promote the need for equitable access to diagnosis, treatment, and care for all children worldwide. It's a call to action to work together to advance research, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to lead a healthy, fulfilling life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_cancer https://internationalchildhoodcancerday.org/ Art&Text 🫶 by ChatGPT.
