Childhood Cancer articles

Secondhand smoke exposure increases lung cancer risk
Children exposed to secondhand cigarette smoke have an increased risk of developing lung cancer in adulthood, even if they never smoked.

Childhood cancer survivors need special education
New research funded by the Canadian Cancer Society has discovered poor educational achievement and learning difficulties for some childhood cancer survivors, especially those diagnosed with brain tumours.

Gene mutations cause childhood brain cancer medulloblastoma
Researchers funded by the Canadian Cancer Society have discovered eight similar genes that, when mutated, appear to be responsible for medulloblastoma – the most common of childhood brain cancers.

Smoking during pregnancy increases cancer risk in child
New research by the Cancer Institute NSW has provided the strongest indication yet that smoking during pregnancy increases a child's likelihood of developing cancer.

Give your child a smoke-free childhood, says WHO
This year's theme on World Cancer Day is "children and second-hand smoke exposure". Around 700 million children - almost half of the world's children - breathe air polluted by tobacco smoke, particularly at home.

Cancer stem cells causing childhood leukemia found
A breakthrough study of identical twins has for the first time confirmed the existence of cancer stem cells that cause the most common form of childhood cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) – backing evidence that this childhood cancer starts in the womb. The research should lead to less aggressive treatment for childhood ALL and provides the hope of new, more effective drugs.
