Cancer is the second biggest killer of children aged under 15, after accidents. Despite the increasing occurrences of cancer, overall paediatric cancer treatment and survival rates are improving. About 70% of children diagnosed with leukaemia are cured. The incidence of childhood cancer is about 14 per 100,000 children.

The common types of cancer in children are acute leukaemia, brain tumor, lymphoma, neuroblastoma and Wilms' tumor, whereas the common adult cancers, such as cancer of the bowel, breast or lung are rarely found in children.
