Press statment for International Childhood Cancer Day - 15 February 2010 | Union for International Cancer Control

"In the developed world children on average have a 75% chance of surviving cancer, however the situation in low- and middle-income countries, which accounts for 80% of the global incidence of childhood cancer, is very different, with only 20% of those that do receive treatment surviving as appropriate treatment is not available or affordable."
