Childhood Cancer
Cancer in children can occur in several areas of the body. Brain tumors, leukemia, and lymphoma are the most common types of tumors in children.
Childhood Brain Tumors
A brain tumor is an out of control growth of abnormal cells in the brain. Every year, about 4,000 children and teens develop brain tumors.
Childhood Leukemia
Leukemia is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in children. More than 30% of all childhood cancers are leukemias.
Childhood Lymphoma
Lymphoma is the third most common cancer in children, after brain tumors and leukemia. Lymphoma begins in the lymphocytes.
Ewing's Sarcoma
Ewing's sarcoma is a rare type of bone cancer that occurs most often in children and adolescents.
Hepatoblastoma
Hepatoblastoma is a rare form of primary liver cancer found only in children. This disease mainly affects children between infancy and 5 years of age.
Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is the most common type of infant cancer. Neuroblastoma begins in immature nerve cells.
Osteosarcoma
Osteosarcoma is a type of bone cancer that occurs mainly in teenagers and adolescents, but may also affect older adults.
Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is the most common childhood eye cancer. It forms in the retina, which contains cells that sense light.
Rhabdomyosarcoma
Rhabdomyosarcoma forms from immature cells that normally develop into skeletal muscles, which are attached to the bones that help the body move.
Wilms' Tumor
Wilms' tumor is a very rare form of kidney cancer that occurs in young children, usually between the ages of two and five.
