Current Oncology | International Childhood Cancer Day

International Childhood Cancer Day (15 February) is a global collaborative effort to deepen the understanding of the difficulties faced by children and adolescents with cancer, as well as by survivors and their families, and to raise awareness of these issues. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all of the researchers who have contributed to this field. In particular, we would like to share some of the innovative research findings in the field of childhood cancers, published in Current Oncology (ISSN: 1718-7729). We hope this announcement will provide useful information for this field.
