Most adult cancers result from lifestyle factors, such as smoking, diet, occupation, and other exposure to cancer-causing agents. The causes of most childhood cancers are not yet known. When you can rule out lifestyle factors, the research on childhood cancers can focus on the basic causes - cell mutation, genetics, etc. - which gives us insight into all kinds of cancer.
Many of the principles of therapy used in treating adults, including chemotherapy, were first tested and developed in children.
This article from the Houston Chronicle perfectly describes the critical importance and extreme benefits of research funding from non-profit companies like CancerFree KIDS.
