Although childhood cancer is rare, it is the second most common cause of death among children in Western countries, after accidents. Global incidence rate shows that there are 140–150 new cases for every million children aged 0–16. Childhood cancer rates have been rising slightly for the past few decades; increase in incidence has been attributed in part to improvements in diagnosis and changes in reporting patterns.

Abstract
Although childhood cancer is rare, it is the second most common cause of death among children in Western countries, after accidents. Global incidence rate shows that there are 140–150 new cases for every million children aged 0–16. Childhood cancer rates have been rising slightly for the past few decades; increase in incidence has been attributed in part to improvements in diagnosis and changes in reporting patterns.
