33% of patients at St. Jude are teenagers battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
More than 5,000 teens ages 15 –19 in the U.S. are diagnosed with cancer each year.
Teen cancer patients often face different issues — and different cancers — than younger patients. The most common cancers among teens include Hodgkin lymphoma and thyroid carcinoma. Thyroid cancer research donations can support treatment for teens.

Get involved
