Cancer is the number one killer of children by disease. It is the second leading cause of all childhood deaths exceeded only by accidents

One in 330 children will develop cancer before the age of 20

Most adult cancers result from lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, occupation, and exposure to cancer-causing agents. The cause of most childhood cancers in unknown.

Each year, about 3,000 children die from cancer - more than from asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies, and pediatric AIDS combined
![Page 16: St gemma’s hospice](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061213/549676dbb4795932708b47cc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Approximately 70% of children with cancer participate in research trials compared to only 3% of adult cancer patients. As a result, many of the advances in adult cancer treatments are due to breakthroughs in childhood cancer research.

In most cases, however, childhood cancers arise from noninherited mutations (or changes) in the genes of growing cells. Because these errors occur randomly and unpredictably, there's no effective way to prevent them.
