A2 - Bunik, Maya PY - 2020 T2 - Current Diagnosis & Treatment: Pediatrics, 25e AB - Each year approximately 150 out of every 1 million children younger than 20 years are diagnosed with cancer. For children between the ages of 1 and 20 years, cancer is the fourth leading cause of death, behind unintentional injuries, homicides, and suicides. However, combined-modality therapy, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, has improved survival dramatically, such that the overall 5-year survival rate of pediatric malignancies is now greater than 75%. It is estimated that currently 1 in 570 adults will be a survivor of childhood cancer.
