Abstract
Childhood cancer is broadly defined as the malignancy arising in pediatric patients upto 14 years of age. The common cancers in this group include acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphomas, CNS tumors, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing Sarcoma, Osteosarcoma etc. Today many of these patients are surviving more and more, not only due to early and correct diagnosis, but also due to availability of better chemotherapy drugs, radiation delivery facilities and supportive care, thereby allowing better survival and cure rates for most of these cancers. An increased number of patients and survivors of childhood malignancies are posing unique problems for the Oncologists, family members and the society.
