Angela Mastronuzzi: This month serves as a crucial reminder to raise cancer awareness

Angela Mastronuzzi posted on LinkedIn:

“Today begins Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 

As a pediatric oncologist specializing in childhood brain tumors, I am constantly inspired by the strength and resilience of my young patients and their families. Childhood cancer is an incredibly challenging journey, not only for the children who endure it but also for the families who walk every step of this path alongside them.

This month serves as a crucial reminder to raise cancer awareness, support research, and advocate for more effective treatments. Every child deserves the opportunity to grow up healthy, and we must continue striving for breakthroughs that make that possible.

Let’s take this September to honor the courageous children on this journey, support the families who stand by them with unwavering love, and renew our commitment to advancing care and finding a cure.”
