|Abstract||This document is a comprehensive review of the literature on childhood cancer epidemiology; pediatric oncology treatment; physical and psychosocial well-being impacts of childhood cancer for children and their families; human-animal bond history and research; and the application of animal-assisted interventions with various populations in need, particularly those affected by childhood cancer. This literature review is a key product completed during the first year of work on the Canines and Childhood Cancer (CCC) research study, which aims to measure the effects of animal-assisted therapy with pediatric oncology patients and their families. The CCC project represents a partnership forged between Pfizer Animal Health and American Humane Association. Please see www.caninesandchildhoodcancer.org for more information.|
