| | DECEMBER 20234The ever-increasing number of Cancer patients among children in India needs immediate attention. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), our country is home to at least 20 percent of the global childhood cancer burden, with nearly 75,000 kids getting cancer every year. Non-communicable diseases, including cancer, cause nearly 50 percent of the total deaths among children aged between five years and 14 years. The most common types of childhood cancers are leukemias, brain cancers, lymphomas, and solid tumors like neuroblastomas and Wilms tumors. Childhood cancer cases are high in low- and middle-income countries where the health system is weak and contributes to cure rates of less than 30 percent. This is due to significant barriers in early diagnosis, inability to accurately diagnose, poor access to health care facilities, and inability to initiate treatment promptly. Clearly, the situation screams for a sustainable solution. The current national health programs and policies are largely focused on cancers in adults. But childhood cancers are unique and require different kinds of care and services for better outcomes, survival, and long-term growth and development. Well, there is no shortcut. India needs better policies and more policies and programs to address childhood cancer. We need to create enhanced awareness about the disease, build more pediatric facilities, and ensure access to quality healthcare for children. According to National Centre for Disease Informatics and Research (NCDIR), less than 50 percent of the tertiary public hospitals had facilities for brachytherapy caring for children with severe neutropenia, safety measures for the preparation of chemotherapy drugs, and daycare beds with infusion chairs. In this issue, we delve deeper into the Cancer and treatment scenario in the country.Sujith VasudevanManaging Editoreditor@ceoinsightsindia.comCancer in Children Needs More Attention EditorialVol 04 · Issue 5 - 1 · DECEMBER, 2023 Publisher Alok Chaturvedi Managing Editor Sujith Vasudevan Senior Designer Girisha M Visualizers Antony Arnold F Madhusmita Sahoo NoidaRohit Raghubanshi Garima Anandadvertise@ceoinsightsindia.comEditorial queries editor@ceoinsightsindia.comAdvertising ManagersAbhay Katiyar To subscribeVisit https://www.ceoinsightsindia.com/subscribe/ or send emailto subscription@ceoinsightsindia.comMagazine Price is Rs. 150 per issuePublisher Alok ChaturvediPrinted and Published By Alok Chaturvedi on behalf of Info Connect Web Technolo-gies India Pvt.
