Screening for cancer in children
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
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

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
