What
is Childhood Cancer?
Cancer is an uncontrolled and abnormal cell growth
that can spread to other parts of the body, wreaking
havoc and disrupting normal bodily functions.
Childhood cancers grow more rapidly than adult
cancers because the cancer tissues grow together
with the fast-growing tissues of the child.

Common types of childhood cancer
Leukaemia
Leukaemia is the cancer of the blood-forming cells.
These abnormal, immature white blood cells start to
grow abundantly and invade other tissues and organs.
They also crowd out and slow the production of
normal blood cells (white blood cells, red blood
cells and platelets) in the bone marrow. The most
common form of Leukaemia among young children is
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.
Brain tumour
It is the most common type of solid tumours in
children. It forms when cells in the brain or
nervous system start growing abnormally and clump
together to form a tumour which then disrupts the
normal brain functions.
Lymphoma
It is the cancer of the lymph glands which starts in
the lymphoid tissue found all over the body.
Lymphoma causes swelling of lymph nodes in the neck,
armpit and groin. There are two broad varieties of
lymphoma: Hodgkin's disease and Non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma, the latter being more common in children.
Other types of childhood cancer
Osteosarcoma - cancer of the bone
Neuroblastoma - cancer of the sympathetic nervous
system.
Wilms' Tumour- cancer of the kidney
