Understanding Childhood Cancer

Types

Cancer in children can occur anywhere in the body, including the blood and lymph node system, brain and central nervous system (CNS), and kidneys. Most of the time, there is no known cause for childhood cancers. There are many types of childhood cancer.

The most common types are:

  • Bone Cancers,
  • Brain Cancers,
  • Leukemias, 
  • Hepatoblastoma,
  • Lymphomas,
  • Neuroblastoma,
