Join actor/advocate Mark Ruffalo, ASBC, and public health and medical experts for a discussion on preventing non-hereditary childhood cancer. As Dr. Phillip Landrigan so wisely articulates, we have been choosing the profits of the chemical industry over the lives children. My beloved daughter Katherine died a terrible death because of the unregulated, reckless, cynical use of known carcinogens everywhere we live, work, and play.

Childhood cancer is the number one cause of death by disease for children in the United States, killing more children than pediatric AIDS, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and muscular dystrophy combined. A 34% increase in the rate of childhood cancer diagnoses since 1975 has led a group of scientists, health professionals, businesses, and advocates to sound an alarm about environmental factors that threaten our children. This coalition seeks to establish a National Childhood Cancer Prevention Research Agenda and Plan to reverse the upward trend in childhood cancer incidence through a dramatic reduction of toxic chemicals, with a strong “all hands on deck” cross-sector approach to childhood cancer prevention.
