The Facts

The types of cancers that develop in children are often different from the types that develop in adults. Childhood cancers are often the result of DNA (gene) changes in cells that take place very early in life, sometimes even before birth. Unlike many cancers in adults, childhood cancers are not strongly linked to lifestyle or environmental risk factors.
​
*Cancer in Children and Adolescents New cases and deaths in 2024
  • an estimated 9,620 children (ages 0 to 14 years) and 5,290 adolescents (ages 15-19 years) will be diagnosed with cancer
  • 1,040 children and 550 adolescents will die from the disease.
  • Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death among both children and adolescents.
  • The most commonly diagnosed cancers in children and adolescents are leukemia (28% and 13%, respectively); brain, including benign and borderline malignant tumors (25% and 22%); and lymphoma (12% and 19%).
  • Many early signs and symptoms of childhood and adolescent cancer include nonspecific symptoms shared by common childhood conditions, which can challenge timely diagnosis.
  • Cancers that occur during childhood or adolescence have few established risk factors, and most are thought to be due to random gene mutations without an external cause

​I just wanted to share...
 
Mom, Ana just called me and was overcome with emotion...crying. She wanted to thank me, and your Foundation for paying their rent and "allowing them more time with Belle". It was one of the most emotional calls I have had in this job. Thank you for this and all you do for the families you help.

Caitlin, Emmanuel Cancer Foundation
Thank you for the wonderful email and the incredible basket you made for Noah.
It was so wonderful to see the joy in his eyes when he opened the basket.  He was shocked when he realized that the items were chosen specifically for him.
He couldn't believe it.  

Madeline, Oncology Mom
 We received an email a few days ago, letting us know about the support you are giving us. My heart sunk and eyes filled with tears. Sarah’s Fight for Hope is an amazing Foundation and has given us much ease so we can focus more on the strength we need to have during this world wind of a time for our daughter.
