Information – Child Cancer
Gary has had lots of questions from people about childhood cancer in New Zealand and has asked if some of the information given to them by the hospital can be shared with everyone.
– In New Zealand approximately 150 children (0-14 years) are diagnosed with cancer each year.
– Cancer develops when a cell in the body, for some as yet unknown reason, starts to divide and multiply without the normal control.
– It is not yet known when a cancer really begins, but there is always a period of time before it becomes noticed.
– 8% of childhood cancers are Neuroblastomas.
