Memphis, Tennessee

Approximately one in every 350 individuals living in the United States develops a cancer before the age of 20. In the 1940s and 1950s, few children survived cancer. In the 1960s however, researchers discovered ways to design therapies using combinations of chemotherapy drugs and combinations of different treatment modalities (chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery). These new approaches resulted in increasing numbers of patients experiencing sustained remission and cures.
