We support childhood cancer researh from 2018 !

Screening for cancer in children


Childhood cancers are rare, and there are no widely recommended screening tests to look for cancer in children who are not at increased risk.

Some children have a higher chance of developing a specific type of cancer because of certain gene changes they inherit from a parent. These children may need careful, regular medical check-ups that include special tests to look for early signs of cancer.


Children types of cancer 

  • Leukemia
  • Brain and spinal cord tumors
  • Neuroblastoma
  • Wilms tumor
  • Lymphoma (including both Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin)
  • Rhabdomyosarcoma
  • Retinoblastoma
  • Bone cancer (including osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma)

Other types of cancers are rare in children, but they do happen sometimes. In very rare cases, children may even develop cancers that are much more common in adults.


Treating cancer in children 

 Treatment for childhood cancer is based mainly on the type and stage (extent) of the cancer. The main types of treatment used for childhood cancer are:

  • Surgery
  • Radiation therapy
  • Chemotherapy 

Some types of childhood cancers might be treated with high-dose chemo followed by a stem cell transplant. And newer types of treatment, such as targeted therapy drugs and immunotherapy, are becoming increasingly important in treating some types of childhood cancers

PROSTATE Cancer STATISTICS and news

Prostate Cancer basics 


The prostate is a gland the size and shape of a walnut which is responsible for sperm production. It grows bigger as men get older. The prostate  is situated underneath the bladder and surrounds the urethra, which is the tube that carries urine out of body. 


Prostate cancer develops when cells in the prostate begin to grow in an uncontrolled way. In many cases prostate cancer grows slow to cause any problems or affect the life spam, which is why men affected do not require treatment , however in some cases  prostate cancer grows and spreads  quickly , which causes problems and requires  treatment to stop cancer  spreading.


Men vulnerable to prostate cancer are usually aged 50 or over, have a history of prostate cancer in family or of a black origin.  The common symptoms of prostate cancer are: 


difficulty starting to urinate 

a weak flow when urinate

 urinating more often than usual 

dribbling urine after finishing urinating

feeling of a full bladder after urinating 

sudden urges to urinate, dribbling urine

weight loss

back pain

blood in the urine
