Cancer and Oncology Research

Childhood cancer refers to cancers that occur in children, typically affecting individuals aged 0 to 19 years. The most common types include leukemia, brain tumors, and neuroblastoma. While childhood cancers are rare compared to adult cancers, they often require specialized treatment approaches and can significantly impact a child’s development and quality of life. Advances in treatment, including chemotherapy, radiation, and targeted therapies, have improved survival rates, but ongoing research is essential to enhance outcomes and address long-term effects.
