Support Cancer Awareness with a Violet Ribbon

Cancer is a term used for diseases in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems.

Cancer is not just one disease but many diseases. There are more than 100 different types of cancer. Most cancers are named for the organ or type of cell in which they start - for example, cancer that begins in the colon is called colon cancer; cancer that begins in melanocytes of the skin is called melanoma.

Cancer types can be grouped into broader categories. The main categories of cancer include:

Cancer Awareness (All Types) uses a Violet Ribbon

• Carcinoma - cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs. There are a number of subtypes of carcinoma, including adenocarcinoma, basal cell carcinoma,squamous cell carcinoma, and transitional cell carcinoma.
• Sarcoma - cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.
• Leukemia - cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue such as the bone marrow and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.
• Lymphoma and myeloma - cancers that begin in the cells of the immune system.
• Central nervous system cancers - cancers that begin in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord.

Childhood Cancer Gold Awareness Ribbon Angel

Childhood Cancer Awareness Gold Ribbon Angel Art

Leukemias and cancers of the brain and central nervous system account for more than half of childhood cancers.  About one-third of childhood cancers are leukemias. The most common type of leukemia in children is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The most common solid tumors are brain tumors.

The causes of childhood cancers are largely unknown.  A few conditions, such as Down syndrome, other specific chromosomal and genetic abnormalities, and ionizing radiation exposures, explain a small percentage of cases.  Environmental causes of childhood cancer have long been suspected by many scientists but have been difficult to pin down, partly because cancer in children is rare and because it is difficult to identify past exposure levels in children.

Survival rates for childhood cancer have risen sharply over the past 25 years. In the United States, more than 80 percent of children with cancer are alive 5 years after diagnosis, compared with about 62 percent in the mid-1970s. Much of this dramatic improvement is due to the development of improved therapies at children’s cancer centers, where the majority of children with cancer have their treatment. 

Children's cancer centers are hospitals or units in hospitals that specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in children and adolescents. Most children's, or pediatric, cancer centers treat patients up to the age of 20.  Because childhood cancer is relatively rare, it is important to seek treatment in centers that specialize in the treatment of children with cancer. 

Specialized cancer programs at comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer centers follow established protocols (step-by-step guidelines for treatment). These protocols are carried out using a team approach. The team of health professionals is involved in designing the appropriate treatment and support program for the child and the child's family. 

In addition, these centers participate in specially designed and monitored research studies that help develop more effective treatments and address issues of long-term childhood cancer survival.  

The above information is from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at the National Institutes of Health.

May this Gold Ribbon Angel help bring Awareness to Childhood Cancers!  September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) Lime Green Awareness Ribbon Angel

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) Lime Green Awareness Ribbon Angel

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that occurs when lymphocytes—white blood cells that help protect the body from infection and disease—begin behaving abnormally.  

There are two main types of lymphomas: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) & non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).  

Certain symptoms are similar to those of many other illnesses & people often think they have a cold or the flu that does not go away.  Common symptoms include: swelling of lymph nodes, fever, chills, lack of energy, & night sweats.  Approximately 30 to 60 percent of patients with an aggressive form of NHL can be cured.

NHL uses a lime green awareness ribbon while HL uses a violet ribbon.  Let this Lime Green Ribbon Angel help bring awareness to Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma!
