In the UK and Ireland, around five children are diagnosed with cancer each week. Thats around 1820 each year.

On average, 82% (over 8 in 10) of all children survive their cancer for five years or more. For some types of childrens cancer, the cure rate is much higher. However, for some types of childhood cancer, cure rates are much lower and less progress has been made. Further research is urgently needed.

Cancer remains the number 1 cause of death by disease for children. Sadly, around 230 children die from cancer each year. Find out more about childhood cancer>
