International Childhood Cancer Day: Much remains to be done to fight childhood cancer

New estimates by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) show that the global occurrence of childhood cancer is higher than previously assessed. These estimates are based on data collected by more than 100 population-based cancer registries in 68 countries around the world in 2001–2010. International Childhood Cancer Day is observed on 15 February each year to raise worldwide public awareness about childhood cancer.
