Children Cancer?

Detailed Guide: Cancer in Children
What Are the Types of Childhood Cancers?

Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and accounts for about 30% of all childhood cancers.

Wilms tumor is a cancer that may affect one or both kidneys. It is most often found in children between 2 and 3 years old.

Neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial (outside of the brain) solid tumor in children and most often diagnosed during the first year of life. This tumor can appear anywhere but usually occurs in the abdomen (stomach) as a swelling.

Retinoblastoma is a cancer of the eye. Although relatively rare, it accounts for 5% of childhood blindness.

Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in children. The tumor originates from the same embryonic cells that develop into striated (voluntary) muscles.

Central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) cancers are the second most common cancers in children. Most brain cancers of children involve the cerebellum or brain stem. Adults are more likely to develop cancers in different parts of the brain--usually the cerebral hemispheres. Spinal cord tumors are less common than brain tumors in both children and adults.

Bone cancer is uncommon, comprising approximately 0.2% of all new cancer cases in the US. The incidence of primary bone cancer (cancers starting in bones) is highest in children and adolescents, but metastatic bone cancer, or cancer that has spread to the bone, is more common than primary bone cancer in all age groups.

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary bone cancer in children and young adults.

Ewing sarcoma is a less common primary bone cancer that occurs mostly in children and adolescents.

Hodgkin lymphoma, sometimes called Hodgkin disease (or Hodgkin's disease or Hodgkin's lymphoma), is a cancer that starts in lymphatic tissue. Lymphatic tissue includes the lymph nodes and related organs that are part of the body's immune and blood-forming systems. Hodgkin lymphoma can occur in both children and adults. It is more common, though, in 2 age groups: early adulthood (age 15 to 40, usually 25 to 30) and late adulthood (after age 55). Hodgkin lymphoma is rare before 5 years of age. About 10% to 15% of cases are diagnosed in children 16 years of age and younger.

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the third most common childhood malignancy and occurs approximately 1陆 times as often as Hodgkin lymphoma in childhood. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in lymphoid tissue.

Don't exactly know what your question is but yes kids get cancer,,,mostly leukemia

Among all age groups, the most common childhood cancers are leukemia, lymphoma, and brain cancer. As children enter their teen years, there is also an increase in the incidence of osteosarcoma (bone cancer). The sites of cancer are different for each type, as are treatment and cure rates.
Leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, affecting more than 3,500 children in the U.S. every year. Leukemia affects two types of white blood cells which are responsible for protecting the body from disease: lymphocytes and granulocytes. Leukemias that affect lymphocytes are known as 鈥渓ymphocytic鈥?or "lymphoblastic," and those that affect granulocytes are called 鈥渕yeloid鈥?or 鈥渕yelogenous鈥?leukemias.
Leukemia is also classified as either acute or chronic. In acute leukemia, white blood cells are released from the bone marrow into the bloodstream before they mature, where they reproduce rapidly. In chronic leukemias, the blood cells are a bit more mature and multiply at a much slower rate.
There are over 4000 cases of thyroid cancer affecting the 鈥楥hernobyl generation鈥?of children. But cancer is only the tip of the iceberg.

YES children get cancer, as I am a mother of a child with thyroid cancer. Please ignore the person who listed the types of childhood cancers. There is no such thing!!! Children are getting ALL types of cancers and it is not limited to only a small list such as the one listed here. Many people are misinformed as to children and cancer. I'm sure exactly what you were asking, but I hope you find your answer!
