A Guide To Childhood Cancer Clinical Trials

Step 1

Understanding
Childhood Cancer

• Childhood cancers can occur in children from birth to 15 years old. These cancers are rare and may differ from adult cancers in growth, spread, and treatments.
• Depending on the cancer type, common treatment options include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, and stem cell transplant.
• The most common childhood cancer types are leukemia, brain tumors, and lymphoma.
• An increase in awareness and research efforts led to a 65% decrease in mortality rate of pediatric cancer patients from 1970 to 2016.

Types of Childhood Cancer are:

• Leukemia
• Brain And Spinal Cord Tumors
• Neuroblastoma
• Wilms Tumor
• Pediatric Lymphoma
• Hodgkin Lymphoma
• Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
• Bone Cancer
• Retinoblastoma
• Pediatric Cancer

Step 2

How Clinical
Trials Can Help

There are currently over 130 active childhood cancer clinical trials taking place in the United States. Participating in a clinical trial not only progresses much-needed research, but also gives patients access to these new innovative therapies years before the general population.

The new treatments investigated in today’s cancer clinical trials are:

• Targeted therapies for new biomarkers
• Immunotherapy using new monoclonal antibodies
• Combinations of chemotherapies with other drugs
• New methods of surgery
