Brain Cancer
Brain tumors are the most prevalent form of pediatric cancer in kids under the age of 19. Brain cancer can form in any area of the central nervous system, which is composed of the brain and spinal cord. Certain types are more likely to occur in certain parts of the brain. Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor, accounting for about 20 percent of all pediatric brain tumors. Other common childhood brain tumors include a typical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors (ATRT), primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
Bone Cancer
Bone cancer can be classified into two types: osteosarcoma and Ewing’s sarcoma. Of the two, osteosarcoma is the most common and typically presents itself in the bones surrounding the knee. Ewing’s sarcoma generally affects the bones of the ribs, pelvis, upper arms and thighs. Both of these bone cancers are most commonly found in adolescents and young adults.
SOLID TUMORS
A solid tumor is an abnormal mass of tissue that can occur in all different parts of the body including the brain, kidneys, liver and bones. The two major types of solid tumors are sarcomas and carcinomas. Sarcomas are tumors that occur in blood vessels, bones, fat tissue, ligaments, lymph vessels, muscles or tendons. The most common solid tumors in children and teens are rhabdomyosarcoma, neuroblastoma, Wilms Tumor, germ cell tumors and retinoblastoma.
Blood Cancer
he most common type of cancer in children and teens, is a cancer of the white blood cells. Abnormal white blood cells form in the bone marrow. They quickly travel through the bloodstream and crowd out healthy cells. This raises the body’s chances of infection and other problems.
Brain cancer
The Foundation helps children from low income families, affected by cancer, access treatment, since parents constantly report financial burden as the main reason for treatment and the main cause for abandonment. We provide support for medications, accommodation, warm nutritional meals and educational program during the course of and after completion of treatment, for families affected by pediatric cancer. The support we provide makes oncological treatment possible and gives children the best opportunity for conquering cancer.
