Globally, approximately 400,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer each year, and every familyโs life is changed forever by that diagnosis. Many countries have seen major survival improvements, but outcomes remain uneven: survival rates differ widely between and within regions, and millions of children still lack timely access to specialised paediatric oncology care, clinical trials and child-appropriate treatments. Low- and middle-income countries carry the largest burden of mortality, while high-income countries struggle with gaps in access to the latest innovations and long-term follow-up for survivors.
To improve outcomes worldwide we need more and smarter investment in childhood-cancer research, faster development and fair global access to affordable, child-specific medicines, and stronger health systems that provide standardised multidisciplinary care, early diagnosis and survivorship services. Policymakers, funders, clinicians, researchers, patient groups and communities must collaborate to close disparities โ you can help by supporting trusted childhood-cancer charities, advocating for equitable research funding and care policies, and sharing verified information and survivor stories with consent.

Today, on World Breast Cancer Research Day (August 18), we honor the life-changing work of researchers, clinicians, survivors, and advocates who drive progress toward a world without breast cancer. Research has given us earlier detection, more effective treatments, and better survivorship care โ but the fight doesnโt stop in October.
Join us in supporting clinical trials, donating to accredited research funds, and sharing trusted information about screening and risk reduction. Remember: 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer in her lifetime, and 85% of cases occur in women with no family history โ which makes continued research essential for everyone. Today and every day, letโs invest in science, uplift survivors and caregivers, and push for sustained funding so future generations can live breast cancer-free.
