Cancer arises in children is almost at the same positions where tumors arise in adults, but some species are more common in children, and on the other tumors of children differ from adult tumors, they don’t have the similar behavior on a permanent basis and they are not treated in the same treatment plans, as they do not respond of treatments at the same pace.
Childhood cancers appear and arise often in primary or elementary cells that are simple constructive cells, which have viability, maturity and differentiation to produce adult cells and more specialized, and usually the shifts or imbalances that affect the cells and can be described as random cause cancer in children.
On the other hand, rates of childhood tumors are significantly different from those in adults, where we find that leukemia, tumors of the brain and nervous system, lymphomas (tumors or lymph nodes), tumors of bone and soft tissue, prostate and bladder and adrenal glands are more common in children, whereas we find that tumors such as skin tumors, breast and lung, kidneys and eyes, are the most common in adults.

4. Hodgkin's disease.
