American Cancer Society researchers’ 2014 special report on childhood cancer summarizes the progress made and challenges ahead in fighting childhood and adolescent cancers. The report, produced as part of the Society’s annual Cancer Facts & Figures publication, provides an overview of trends in incidence, mortality, and survival for cancers commonly diagnosed in children and adolescents. We also provide more detailed information on risk factors, symptoms, treatment, and important long-term and late effects for these cancers. The major types of cancers included are: leukemias and lymphomas, brain and CNS tumors, embryonal tumors, sarcomas of bone and soft tissue, and gonadal germ cell tumors. Read more here.
