Any type of cancer is uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. For children, this demanding process can be taxing on a developing body. Most childhood cancers are caused by mutations in their DNA – or protein building blocks. This event happens randomly, so currently we have no way to prevent it. There are two enormous challenges with childhood cancer.

The second is helping the child cope with evaluation, treatment and what seems like never-ending follow-up. Especially in younger children…typically 4 or younger…who may not be able to rationalize what is happening.
