Shushan Hovsepyan, Editor-in-Chief of OncoDaily Medical Journal, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Every 2 minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer.
But research for childhood cancers gets only 4-5% of global cancer funding.
If childhood cancer was your fight, would 4% be enough?
The reality?
– Many childhood cancer drugs are decades old and designed for adults.
– Survivors often carry the burden of toxic therapies for a lifetime.
– Too little funding = too little progress.
This needs to change.
That’s why we’re launching the Second Global OncoThon on February 15, 2025 – a 24-hour global event bringing together the whole world to push for better treatments, more funding, and real change.
The countdown is ON – 10 days until The Second Global OncoThon 2025!
One Day. One Mission. One Global Effort!”
