Childhood cancer is uncommon but remains the leading cause of disease-related death in children. Symptoms are often vague or insidious; they may suggest a more common alternative diagnosis, and they are quite different from those associated with adult malignancy.

Immunotherapies for Childhood Cancer
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in MedicineChildren are surviving cancer in greater numbers than ever. Over the last 50 years, substantial advancements in pediatric cancer treatment have resulted in an 85% 5-year survival rate. Nonetheless, a notable 10%-15% of patients encounter relapse or develop refractory disease, leading to significantly lower survival. Recent attempts to further intensify

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1976THE DIAGNOSIS of cancer in children has been accompanied by a fatalistic outlook in the past. The child with cancer and his family have been a favorite subject of the thanatologists, who equate it with a "terminal" status. However, advances in the evaluation and care of childhood cancer, resulting from basic and clinical cancer research, have led to ...

Cancer, 1966
A statistical study of the first 5,763 deaths covered by the Oxford Survey of Childhood Cancers showed that the number of twin-born cases was below expectation and that this applied especially to members of like-sex pairs. This may reflect prenatal selection against embryos (especially males) with a disposition to develop cancer in childhood.

The genetics of childhood cancer
Cancer, 1975Two classes of genes are apparently critical in the origin of the cancers of children. One class, that of oncogenes, acts by virtue of abnormal or elevated activity. It is operative primarily in leukemias and lymphomas. There is no evidence yet that genetic predisposition to these neoplasms can be imparted by oncogene mutations in the germline. However,

A rare case of a papillary thyroid cancer in a young boy is reported. At the age of 8 years a rapidly growing tumour of the right antero-lateral neck region was detected. Biopsy revealed a cervical lymph node metastasis of a papillary thyroid carcinoma. Any adequate therapy was rejected by the patient's father.
