Pleuropulmonary Blastoma (PPB) is a rare lung cancer that develops in children, primarily affecting infants and young kids. It starts in the developing lung tissue and can grow at different rates. Doctors classify PPB into three types—Type I, II, and III—based on how advanced and aggressive the tumour is. Early detection and treatment are essential for improving outcomes.
Many sufferers of Pleuropulmonary Blastoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as Pleuropulmonary Blastoma. We have recently created an Pleuropulmonary Blastoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
