    The Battle Against Childhood Cancer:

    Finding A Ray of Hope


    26 SEPTEMBER 2023
    14:30 - 15:30
    CONFERENCE ROOM 2

    #CancerCare4All
    GC67 Side Event
    The Battle Against Childhood Cancer: Finding A Ray of Hope
    26 September 2023, 14:30-15:30
    Conference Room CR2
    The management of childhood cancers is a success story. Five-year survival rates of most
    childhood cancers have increased to higher than 80 percent in high-income countries. Yet in
    low- and middle-income countries where most of the world’s children live, survival rates are
    equal to or less than 30 percent. Radiation medicine in particular plays an important role in the
    diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care of childhood cancers. The use of radiation, however,
    requires specialized staff and settings to improve survival and reduce side effects. As such, this
    side event will focus on the multidisciplinary management of childhood cancers and on global
    challenges. Its objectives will be to examine:
    • How radiation and nutrition contribute to the diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care of
    childhood cancer patients.
    • How the UN agencies and other international organizations are closing the gap between
    high-income and low- and middle-income countries.
