View answerI am aware that September was Childhood Cancer Awareness month. This is part of an international campaign to raise awareness of the many issues affecting children with cancer. Cancer prevention is a key part of our efforts in cancer control and I welcome initiatives that help to create awareness of cancer and that support patients who are dealing with cancer.
