Childhood cancer is a big problem. Childhood cancer is as deadly to the child as it is to their parents. Childhood cancer is the ninth leading cause of death in children.

At the same time, according to data published by the World Health Organization in 2021, the lives of children with cancer were saved by up to 80 percent in high-income countries. While in low- and middle-income countries, less than 30% of children’s lives are saved. In such a situation, it is a matter of great concern for India. In such a situation, on the occasion of International Children’s Cancer Day, today with Healthshots we will find out the state of childhood cancer in India, as well as its causes, symptoms and some important preventive measures.

International Children’s Cancer Day

Every year February 15 is celebrated as the International Day of Children with Cancer. On this day, through various campaigns and programs in hospitals, schools, colleges, non-governmental and other organizations, efforts are being made to spread awareness among people about the risk, causes and cures of deadly cancer in children.

In addition, various types of programs are organized for children with cancer and their parents. Also, there are many non-governmental organizations that collect funds to promote childhood cancer treatment and distribute them to the needy.

The special purpose of this day is to raise people’s awareness about the causes of cancer. So the lives of thousands of children can be saved by controlling these reasons in time. In addition to children being aware of this, parents also need to be more aware of this.

Health Shots spoke with Dr. Lisa Bulsara, pediatrician, hematologist, oncologist, Ruby Hall Clinic, discusses the growing statistics of childhood cancer. He gave a lot of important information in this regard. So let’s find out what are the main causes of the increase in cancer in children, as well as learn some important ways to prevent it.
