For more than 45 years,
Pediatric Cancer Foundation has been funding game-changing research and providing hope for children and their families. We also fund patient treatment and endow world-class hospitals and oncologists with the equipment they need to save lives and improve patient care.
Statistics
Cancer is the leading cause of non-accidental deaths in children.
About 10,380 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2016.
All types of childhood cancers combined receive only 4% of the U.S. federal funding for cancer research.
Cure rate for
pediatric cancer:
1975 - 20%
Today - 75%
Today - 75%
While some diagnoses have good cure
rates, others have significantly less positive
outcomes. Our goal is to find a cure for
every child.
Because of major treatment advances in recent
decades, there has been a huge increase
in the 5-Year Survival Rate:
mid-1970's - 58%
Today - 80+%
