Pediatric cancer, which affects children and teenagers, is relatively rare, but it can be effectively treated and often cured. There are three main categories of childhood cancers: leukemias and lymphomas, brain tumors, and solid tumors. With the help of modern treatments designed specifically for young patients, more than 80% of children and teenagers survive for years after being diagnosed with cancer. However, survivors of pediatric cancer have a higher risk of developing second cancers and other medical conditions. Join us to learn more about pediatric cancer on the next Keystone Edition of Health.
