- Childhood cancer is the number one disease killer in children.
-
Neuroblastoma is the most common cancer in infancy.
- Neuroblastoma is
the most common extra cranial solid tumor cancer in children.
- Every
16 hours a child with neuroblastoma dies.
- There is no known cure for
neuroblastoma.
- Nearly 70% of those children first diagnosed, have
disease that has already metastasized or spread to other parts of the body.
When disease has spread at diagnosis and a child is over the age of 2 there
is less than a 30% chance of survival.
- Childhood cancer is the
leading cause of death by disease in the US and it kills more children per
year than cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, asthma and AIDS combined.
- There is NO direct government funded research into this Neuroblastoma and drug companies only fund research into diseases that will make profitable returns for their share holders. Neuroblastoma is not one of those diseases!
