We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your continued dedication to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! It’s with your help that we are able to truly make a difference in the lives of patients and their families.
In fact, check out some of amazing factoids that are a direct result from the dedication of our amazing volunteers:
- Nearly 40% of new cancer therapies approved by the FDA between 2000 and 2013 were first approved for blood cancer patients.
- LLS has helped advance laws in almost half of the states (of which includes the state of Ohio) to ensure coverage and payment parity for cancer medications, regardless of how or where administered.
- Since the early 1960s, five-year survival rates for many blood cancer patients have
doubled, tripled or even quadrupled. - In 1964, the five-year survival rate for children with the most commonly diagnosed leukemia was 3%. Today it’s approximately 90%.
- LLS is the leading source of free blood cancer information, education and patient support.
