How the American Cancer Society Fights Childhood Cancer

Whether you’re looking for ways to understand a child’s cancer diagnosis, cope with treatment, or have questions about living as a childhood cancer survivor, we have you covered.

We're working to answer the critical questions about childhood cancer: what causes it, how can it be detected and treated successfully; and how to improve the quality of life for patients, survivors, and their families, when they’re getting care as a patient and growing up as a survivor.

If your child is diagnosed with cancer, we offer free resources to help you every step of the way.

Through our advocacy affiliate, ACS CAN, we support laws and policies that increase funding for cancer research, improve the quality of life for children and their families as they face cancer, and broaden access to quality health care. Find out more about what we’re doing to help.
