WORLD WITHOUT CANCER
The Story of Vitamin B17
DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr.,
and John A. Richardson, M.D. When confronted by the power and malice of entrenched scientific error, they did not flinch. While others scampered for protective shelter, they moved to the front line of battle. May the telling of their deeds help to arouse an indignant public which, alone, can break the continuing hold of their enemies over our lives and our health.
Wednesday, 4 February 2015 marks World Cancer Day and CANSA is emphasising that cancer is “not beyond us” in terms of cancer control and reducing the impact of the disease.
Taking place under the tagline ‘Not beyond us’, World Cancer Day focusses on taking a positive and proactive approach to the fight against cancer, highlighting that solutions do exist regarding cancer care and early detection and that they are within reach.

Please Support The Chase After a Cure for Childhood CancerGoing Places, Inc
Chase After a Cure (CAAC) was started in 2009 by Summerville, S.C., resident Whitney Ringler and her family after her son, Chase, was given a 30 percent chance of survival after being diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma, a cancer of the nerve tissue of the sympathetic nervous system. Chase survived this aggressive form of cancer and now his family works tirelessly on behalf of childhood cancer research.
CAAC raises awareness about childhood cancer, specifically neuroblastoma, and funds childhood cancer research at the Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Hospital.
Cancer is the No. 1 cause of disease-related death among children. About 13,500 children between birth and age 19 are diagnosed with cancer each year. Just at the Medical University of South Carolina, about 70 children are diagnosed with pediatric cancer annually.
Compared to adult cancer, childhood cancers are rare. Even though childhood cancer incidence rates continue to increase slightly each year, they still represent less than 1 percent of all new cancer diagnoses. That means funding for childhood cancer research is limited. In particular, neuroblastoma – which has one of the lowest survival rates – receives very little attention because the population base with this form of cancer isn’t profitable enough for pharmaceutical companies to develop new treatments.
While childhood cancer may impact a smaller population, it impacts the young lives of those diagnosed at 100 percent. Please help support Chase After a Cure. www.chaseafteracure.com/donate

What? Why?
Evidence of Problem
Impact If Problem Is Resolved?
Who is in need
(people, animals, land, etc.)?
The community of children whose parents undergoing cancer treatment are in need of the services the Children’s Academy of Pinellas has to offer. Expanding the childcare program to include complimentary nutritious meals will not only encourage proper nutrition for children of the academy, but help alleviate some of the parental or caregiver stress that often accompanies those undergoing cancer treatment.
Where are they?
The population of children being served at the Children’s Care Academy live within the central west portion of Pinellas County, Florida.
When is the need evident?
Children can be at the academy for several hours a day, often during breakfast, lunch and or dinner times, requiring the need for children to receive a nutritious meal. Some parents may not have the time, energy or financial means to provide nourishing food for their children during their stay at the academy. The need is evident for each child as long as the parent or caregiver is undergoing cancer treatment.
What is the need?
The need for expanding the outreach program is two-fold; to ensure children are receiving nutritious meals and to help ease some parental responsibilties while undergoing cancer treatment. Many parents or caregivers do not have family members or friends available to help care for children during time-consuming cancer treatment sessions. Traditional daycare facilities are fashioned to accommodate working parents requiring payment for services on a continual basis regardless of how often the children attend. Daycare facilities are also very expensive and do not provide nutritious food programs on a complimentary basis. The Children’s Care Academy is designed to care for children coinciding with treatment schedules on a complimentary basis.
Pinellas County is home to a large population of single-working parents struggling to make ends meet. Single families generally face greater challenges in everyday life with less income and less family support. Demanding cancer treatment schedules can further complicate the single-family structure resulting in an even greater need for the resources offered by the Children’s Care Academy of Pinellas.
Why does this need exist?
Parents or caregivers undergoing cancer treatment face a multitude of challenges. Those undergoing treatment become all consumed with vigorous treatment schedules and learning to deal with the aftermath of some of the physical and emotional side effects resulting from treatment. Treatments such as radiation and chemotherpay can take a toll on the body resulting in nausea, vomiting, weakness, loss of appetite and fatigue; leaving little energy to perform even the easiest tasks at home, such as prepari.

Dear friends,
Welcome to World Child Cancer USA’s first annual report. We are pleased to
share how your contributions helped children with cancer in developing
countries around the globe.
Thanks to your generosity, in 2014 World Child Cancer was able to help
hospitals in 16 countries that cared for 3,460 children with cancer. Through our
medical twinning partners – hospitals like Dana Farber and Boston Children’s
Hospital – we helped train 1,000 healthcare professionals in 16 low- and
middle-income countries where we work. World Child Cancer Global raised
over $3 million dollars and mobilized $2.9 million of in-kind voluntary medical
aid from healthcare professionals.
In 2014, World Child Cancer started new projects in Myanmar and in 5
centers in Sub-Saharan Africa to work together to improve care for children
with kidney cancer (Wilms tumor) across Africa. We have entered phase 2 of
developing satellite networks at our projects in Bangladesh, Ghana and the
Philippines – enabling us to cover a greater geographical area and reach a
greater number of children with cancer within those countries.
Thank you for your support and for partnering with us to save lives. Your
contributions make it possible for us to subsidize the purchase of life-saving
medicines and pain relievers, train local nurses and doctors, deliver
awareness campaigns about the signs and symptoms of childhood cancer to
local communities, and support families throughout the diagnosis, treatment
and care of their child.
On behalf of us all at World Child Cancer, thank you again for your support.
Together, we can ensure that no child with cancer should suffer – no matter
where they may live.
Many thanks,

Greetings,
2014 was an exciting year for World Child Cancer USA. Thanks to your support,
we were able to contribute to helping 3,400 children access cancer care and
life-saving treatment globally.
Of the estimated 200,000 children who develop cancer each year 90% live in
low- and middle-income countries, and in some of the poorest countries the
chance of a cure is less than 10%, compared to 80% or more in high income
countries like the US. Cancer impacts children, along with their families and
communities, indiscriminately around the globe. World Child Cancer exists
to close the gap in survival rates and ensure every child can access the best
possible treatment and care.
In May, I was privileged to travel to Ghana to visit the pediatric oncology unit
at the Korle Bu Teaching hospital in Accra. On any given day, over 40 children
receive treatment and care at the teaching hospital and dozens in other
partner hospitals throughout Ghana. I attended the 8th training workshop
where doctors, nurses, and pharmacists were trained from regional hospitals;
I saw first-hand how building local knowledge and skills multiplies, as health
workers who were trained go on to share and implement what they’ve
learned. Your support not only provides treatment and care for children, but
also creates sustainable change by improving local healthcare systems and
training the next generation of change-makers.
Thank you to each and every one of you for partnering with us. Your support
saves lives and truly makes a difference.
With gratitude,

5. World Child Cancer was established in 2007 by a team of international
childhood cancer experts and business people to redress the global inequality
in cancer treatment for children in low- and middle-income countries. World
Child Cancer USA was founded in 2012 and works with its sister charity, World
Child Cancer UK, to mobilize additional resources and expertise needed to
accomplish our shared mission: that no child should suffer.
Improving the cure rates, supportive care, and palliative care are essential
elements of all World Child Cancer projects, and both the USA and UK charities
share the same family of projects and work together to fund and implement
them. This report illustrates World Child Cancer’s global efforts.
Our mission is to improve
cancer diagnosis,
treatment and care
for children across the
developing world.
A world where every
child with cancer has
access to the best
possible treatment
and care.

Wilms’ tumour
project
Over 200,000 children develop cancer
worldwide each year. 80 percent of
those children live in
low- or middle-income countries
where less than 10 percent will
survive compared to 80 percent in
high-income countries.
Poor diagnosis, along with too
few specially trained doctors and
nurses and the mistaken belief that
childhood cancer is too difficult to
cure, combine to create very low
survival rates.
In fact childhood cancer is curable
even in resource-poor countries.
It’s possible to save the lives of
50–60 percent of children with
easily treatable malignancies using
relatively simple and inexpensive
drugs and procedures that have
been known to doctors for decades.
Put simply, we treat children with
cancer not fortunate enough to live
in the developed world. And where
treatment isn’t possible, we provide
effective pain relief.
What we do
• Increase access to curative
childhood cancer treatment
for the world’s poorest
children;
• Improve survival rates in the
hospitals in which we work;
• Increase the availability of
palliative care for children
with incurable cancers;
• Build capacity among
healthcare professionals
in low- and middle-income
countries in the treatment
of childhood cancer and
improve treatment facilities;
• Improve the collection
of data on the problem
of childhood cancer in
resource-poor countries;
• Raise awareness about
childhood cancer and
its curability in resource-
poor countries and among
international healthcare
funders;
• Ensure the sustainable
development of our projects.

When I have to go to
the hospital, I have to
get up very early in the
morning. The journey
there on the bus takes a long time
and I often feel quite sick. I travel with
my mum but there are lots of people
and it’s crowded. I’m scared of the
bus. And the hospital smells funny. I
wish I could stay at home. Being sick
is hard because it takes my time and
stops me doing the things I would like
to do.
I really like Dr Khaing and I know
that the team works very hard and
does everything it can. But I still find
it boring and it’s not very nice. When
I speak with Dr Khaing, my mum
is always there and they do lots of
checks. My mum sometimes asks
questions so she can understand.
I wanted to get an award at the
school. But I missed it because I got
this disease. I want to be a teacher but
my illness is affecting my school work.
When I am waiting at the hospital I do
not have much to do but I can watch
cartoons. The treatment is very painful
and takes away my energy for a long
time. It is horrible hearing the other
children who are in pain but I got
used to it.
Burmese literature is one of my
favourite school subjects. I do like the
poem ‘To the top’. I want
to be in school to learn
more, be with my friends
and have a normal life.

World Child Cancer has allowed us to expand our reach across
Mindanao so that more children with cancer will have access to
care. Through the Mindanao Pediatric Cancer Care Network, our
pediatric oncology team at Southern Philippines Medical Center
is able to create satellites of healthcare professionals and generate local
support in key areas of Mindanao. Our patients can have some or all of their
treatment delivered closer to their homes, mothers can continue
to care for other children and fathers can continue to work, which
empowers families and helps sustainability of treatment. This in
turn improves chances of survival and optimizes use of limited
resources.
