Thankfully, child cancer is rare. However, it does occur and, therefore, has to be considered.
Clearly, cancers associated with adult life and work will not affect children. Asbestos related cancer (Mesothelioma) would be extremely unlikely as the chances of a child breathing in millions of particles simply will not happen.
It is strongly believed that living near to a nuclear facility provides a real risk of starting a cancer in children and so it is wise to be aware of this.
The incidence of cancer in children usually begins in the first year of their lives but the good news is that the survival rate is very high.
Neuroblastoma is argued to be the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and infancy. Its solid tumors, which take the form of a lump or mass, mostly begin in one of the adrenal glands, though they can also develop in nerve tissues in the neck, chest, abdomen, or pelvis
The cause of Neuroblastoma is unknown, though most believe that it is an accidental cell growth that occurs during normal development of the adrenal glands.
Leukemia (cancer of the blood or bone marrow) is possibly an equal risk but should be spotted in its very early stages so that effective treatment can be obtained.
There are other cancer types in children but these are usually diagnosed early on and dealt with.
Relative survival for infants is very good for Neuroblastoma and Retinoblastoma, fairly good (80%) for leukemia, but not so good for most other types of cancer.
Male and female infants have about the same overall cancer incidence rates but not so with older children.
White infants have higher cancer rates than black infants. Leukemia accounts for a great proportion of this difference, the average annual rate for white infants being considerably higher than for black infants.

Myles was a 20 year-old man who was brought to the emergency room by the campus police of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. A professor had called and reported that Myles had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his tuition money and refused to leave. I was as shocked as a father, Although Myles had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. His sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from his room and ask his family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.I could not stand the shame of my son illness so I decide to consult some of my africa friends at work , and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her Hiv and Prostate Cancer after the herbal medicine consumption.
