Just one week to go until the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, also known as CCAM. A month dedicated to raising awareness to children and young people with cancer. Children with Cancer UK is proud to introduce you to a powerful 90-minute film produced by Echo Velvet (the producers of ITV’s critically acclaimed documentary It’s Showtime) and follows the extraordinary lives of eight remarkable young people from across the UK and US who have faced the unimaginable. Kids Like Us, a landmark documentary feature which will fundamentally change the way we view paediatric cancer and the issues that surround it. The film will premiere on Wednesday 11 September with a red-carpet VIP event at Cineworld, Leicester Square, sponsored by pladis Global, and will then be available to stream on Sky from September 12. https://bit.ly/3kLonkk Every day in the UK, 10 children and young people will receive the devastating news that they have cancer. Of those 10, two will not survive. Let's continue to raise awareness and ensure every child and young person survives cancer. #KidsLikeUs #KidsLikeUsFilm #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth

👉 Germ cell tumours (GCT) are a diverse group of tumours that usually develop within the ovaries or testes. These are called gonadal germ cell tumours. 🗨️ However germ cell tumours can also occur in other parts of the body. As a baby develops in the womb, the germ cells usually move to the ovaries or testes. Sometimes they fail to migrate to their proper location and settle in other parts of the body, where they can develop into tumours. These are called extragonadal germ cell tumours. The most common places for these tumours to occur are at the bottom of the spine called a sacrococcygeal, the brain, chest and abdomen. Find out more via the link: https://bit.ly/3SX8BF7.
