- So let's talk a little bit about cancer in kids and how is it different from cancer maybe that we see in older adults, the elderly.

Can you kind of give us an idea of what we're looking at there?

- Yeah, absolutely.

I think cancer in kids, you know, a lot of the times it's unlike adults, where it's as a result of just our body aging and things that have been exposed to, things we may have done to ourselves.

In children, unfortunately, we have not found exact cause.

So a lot of it is just congenital reasons where a child may have a mutation that they're born with.

So it's not preventable.

It, unfortunately, just happens in children.

So there are no, what we recognize in adults as preventative etiologies.

You think, hey, don't smoke, so you don't get lung cancer.

Make sure you're eating your vegetables so you don't get colon cancer.

So there is not too many preventable cancers, and that's what makes it different from adults.
