According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 300,000 children between the ages of 0 to 19 are diagnosed with cancer each year. A child dies of cancer every three minutes. These are some of the most common childhood cancers.

  • Leukemia
  • Brain cancer
  • Lymphoma
  • Neuroblastoma is a form of solid tumors

Early detection and appropriate medical care can help prevent cancer deaths, according to healthcare professionals. More than 80% of children with cancer are cured in high-income countries. The opposite is true in low and middle-income countries. Only about 20% of children with cancer in these countries have found a cure.

Finding a cure

More needs to be done to help children in these low and middle-income countries avoid cancer. Any child with cancer deserves the highest possible treatment, regardless of their ethnicity, race, or socioeconomic status.

WHO has developed a Global Initiative on Childhood Cancer in order to help more children avoid childhood cancer. The initiative aims to achieve a 60 percent survival rate for children with cancer by 2030. Doing this will save one million lives. Every country must provide quality services for children with cancer in order to achieve this target. Childhood cancer prevention must also be prioritized at both national and international levels. WHO aims to cure all children with cancer by advocacy, leveraged funding, and governance.
