About measures against childhood cancer
Last Updated January 31, 2025
About childhood cancer that you want to know
Since childhood cancer has a small number of cases and a lack of social understanding compared to adult cancer, the purpose is to let you know a little about the current situation of children and families who are treating and experiencing childhood cancer. I created a video that did.
A child and his parents living in Yokohama, who received treatment for childhood cancer at a hospital in Yokohama City, told Yuji Nakazawa, who played an active part in Yokohama F. Marinos, "I was struggling during the fight" and "I was encouraged by others. "
The 15-second short version of this video will be available on municipal subways and municipal buses from February 1 to 28, 2015, and will be available from Friday, March 14 to Thursday, March 27. Will be broadcast on

In order to detect the disease early and prevent the disease from becoming more severe, the following medical institutions can receive a test by the "Yokohama Childhood Cancer Experienced Dock" and a "long-term follow-up" consultation.
