Brain and central nervous system cancers
There are many forms of childhood brain cancer, each growing in different parts of the brain. Some brain tumours grow slowly, while others are quite aggressive and can spread quickly to other parts of the brain and body.
Blood cancers
The two main blood cancers in children are leukaemia and lymphoma.
Sarcoma
Sarcoma refers to several cancers that start in the body’s connective tissues. This includes bones, muscles, tendons, cartilage, fat and blood vessels.
