Cancer Facts

It's important to know the facts about childhood cancer.
Here is what we know:
  • Cancer is the #1 cause of death by disease in children.
  • 43 children are diagnosed each day with cancer. That’s 1 child every 30 minutes. WOCK finds this unacceptable!
  • 1 out of 8 children will not survive… that’s approximately 1800 children each year.
  • Nearly 60% of those who survive will have long-lasting chronic health conditions as adults.
  • More children die from cancer than AIDS, muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, and asthma combined.
  • Research in childhood cancer has led and continues to lead to successful treatments for adult cancers.
