Problems of Children’s Tumours in Britain

  • Chapter
Tumours in Children

Abstract

With the steady improvement in the prevention and treatment of bacterial disease during the past 30 years, their importance as a cause of death in children has greatly diminished. During the same period the practical benefits resulting from cancer research have not been so striking and consequently neoplasms have assumed a relatively greater importance in paediatrics. In 19 70 they were the second commonest cause of death between the ages of 1 and 15 years in England and Wales (Registrar-General), being exceeded only by accidents (Table 1).
