The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk is
the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to
thousands of patients battling blood cancers and to
commemorate loved ones lost. The Society funds lifesaving
cancer research that has contributed to major advances
in the treatment of blood cancers and many other types
of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and stem cell
transplants that have prolonged and enhanced the lives
of patients. New targeted therapies that kill cancer cells
without harming normal tissue have already begun to
provide drugs and procedures that are improving quality
of life.
But more research is critically needed:
Every five minutes someone is diagnosed with blood cancer. Every ten minutes, someone dies.
Leukemia causes more deaths among children than any other cancer.
More than 20,000 Americans died from lymphoma in 2006.
The survival rate for myeloma is just 33 per cent.
