AWARE TO CARE
Raising Awareness of Neuroblastoma
Over 600 children are diagnosed with neuroblastoma each year
It's the hard truth. Nueroblastoma is ranked to be the second most common childhood cancer for children under the age of 1. What's even worse? There is no known cure for relasped neuroblastoma...
but you can help raise awareness.
What is Neuroblastoma?
Neuroblastoma is a form of childhood cancer where a solid tumor is formed by special nerve cells called neuoroblasts. In normal cases, these immature cells grows and mature into functioning nerve cells, but sometime can become cancer cells instead.
Even though neuroblastoma sometimes forms before the child is even born, the cancer itself isn't usually found until much later due to common cold symptoms. By this time, the tumor has already grown and soons spreads throughout the body. The sooner the cancer is diagnosed and treated, the chance of recovery is very good.
