What is Childhood Cancer?
Cancer is the most common disease-related cause of death for ages one to twenty, and the fourth most common cause of all deaths, after accidents, homicides, and suicides. Cancer affects 14 of every 100,000 children in the United States each year. Among all age groups, the most common childhood cancers are leukemia, lymphoma, and brain cancer. As children enter their teen years, there is also an increase in the incidence of bone cancer.
Typically, the factors that trigger cancer in children are not the same factors that may cause cancer in adults, such as smoking or exposure to environmental toxins. In almost all cases, childhood cancers arise from noninherited mutations (or changes) in the genes of growing cells. Because these errors occur randomly and unpredictably, there is currently no effective way to prevent them.
Promote childhood cancer awareness by purchasing a Childhood Cancer Bracelet today.
** Each Childhood Cancer Bracelet comes with a flat awareness ribbon charm. If you would like a 3-D awareness ribbon charm instead, please make a note in the "Special Instructions" box. **
