The most common cancers in children are #leukaemia, #brain tumours and #lymphomas. Leukaemia and lymphomas develop when abnormal white blood cells replace healthy white cells, which are responsible for fighting infections. Early diagnosis and treatment at dedicated cancer care centres where highly specialised care can be provided by a multi-disciplinary healthcare team are critical in ensuring successful treatment.
