Abstract
Cancer is a broad category, comprised of many types of cancer that impact both adults and children. The types of cancers, treatments, and prognosis are different among children with cancer as compared to adults and require unique evaluation. South Carolina's inaugural childhood cancer report focuses specifically on cancers impacting those 19 years of age and younger in the state. Childhood cancer is a condition which has impacted every county in South Carolina with 4,457 children diagnosed with cancer and 716 cancer deaths statewide over the past 25 years. The report that follows details the past and present landscape of childhood cancer in South Carolina and lays a foundation for future childhood cancer research, advocacy, and intervention in South Carolina.
