“Just stay strong and be brave” is 10-year-old Kyrie’s message for children going through tough medical journeys like his: At age 6, Kyrie was diagnosed with a rare soft-tissue cancer called infantile fibrosarcoma.

Though chemotherapy is the current standard-of-care, he participated in a CHOP clinical trial testing the effectiveness of an oral drug with low side effects, called larotrectinib, as a frontline therapy for certain tumors with a specific genetic mutation.

This remarkable example of precision medicine therapy has changed Kyrie's life, and now his family is sharing his story with The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute. Learn more about the research leading up to the treatment’s development: http://ms.spr.ly/6189sLAm5.

💛 Childhood Cancer Awareness Spotlight 💛

At just 10 years old, Alli and her family traveled from Kentucky to our Center for a second opinion, where she was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer.

Her treatment included a thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine therapy, and in 2019 she achieved remission. Alli continues to take daily medication and visits our doctors once a year.

Now 17, Alli is thriving—she loves playing basketball, spending time at the lake, singing and performing in school drama productions, and working with animals. She dreams of becoming a veterinarian.

“Because I was so young, it was hard for me to understand everything that was going on, and I felt like life wasn’t fair. I would like to tell people affected by cancer to stay strong and positive, even when it gets scary. Take it one step at a time and lean on the people who love you.”
