tumor of childhood; 
Whereas DIPG is the leading cause of childhood death due 
to brain tumors; 
Whereas the median survival time is only 9 months 
postdiagnosis with treatment; 
Whereas 5-year survival is less than 1 percent; 
Whereas, given the age at diagnosis and the average life ex-
pectancy, the number of life years lost annually because 
of DIPG is approximately 24,000 years of person life lost 
(calculated as the number of children diagnosed by aver-
age of male and female life expectancy from that median
