Survivor's Week Webinar!
Childhood cancer survival rates have been improving globally over recent decades. Researchers in this area highlight, “Ongoing improvements in survival rates across high-income, middle-income and low-income countries will result in a rapidly expanding population of survivors with unique health-care needs, emphasizing the increasing relevance of issues relating to childhood cancer survivors globally.” (Ehrhardt et al. 2023). Young people who have survived cancer are a medically vulnerable population at higher risk for health and psychosocial issues throughout their lifetimes including, for example, challenges in mental health, physical health, education, work, or social integration in their communities. However, many young people who have survived childhood cancer have meaningful and productive lives with support from family, community, and peers. CCI and SIOP offer an annual 2-hour webinar on Childhood Cancer Survivorship to bring together professionals and young people who have been treated for cancer to highlight challenges and successes in this global topic.
This year’s theme is Childhood Cancer Stigma and Communication (the language and words we use when speaking about childhood cancer). Join us on June 29, 2024, to celebrate cancer survival month (June) and all who have completed treatment worldwide.
