Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 2024
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is highlighting some of the research areas that IARC scientists are working in, to mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 2024, and will post news items, infographics, and videos during the month of September to offer insights into how and why IARC focuses on these aspects of childhood cancer.
The cancer types that occur most often in children are very different from the cancer types that occur mainly in adults. Preventing these cancer types is difficult because the causes are not yet well understood. IARC scientists are engaged with partners at the international, regional, and relatively local levels in their studies on paediatric cancers.
Visit the IARC website and social media channels regularly throughout September to learn more about IARC’s research on childhood cancer.
