The distributions of cancers that develop in children are childhood cancer cases. Whites accounted for three out of quite different compared to the distribution of types that every four childhood cancer cases (76.7%) of all childhood occur in adults. Childhood cancers are the result of DNA cancer cases. The leading cause of cancer incidence in children changes in cells that take place very early in life, sometimes less than 20 years of age was leukemia, followed by central even before birth. Unlike many cancers in adults, childhood nervous system (2nd), lymphoma (3rd), melanoma (4th), and cancers are not strongly linked to lifestyle or environmental soft tissues (5th); these five causes of cancer incidence risk factors (American Cancer Society, 2015). represented 74.7% of all childhood cancer cases. There were 1,527 new invasive cancer cases and 209 deaths The early diagnosis of childhood cancer is often hampered by due to cancer in children less than 20 years of age in TN during nonspecific symptoms that are similar to those of more 2008 and 2012. TN experienced the 30th highest childhood common childhood diseases. There are currently no effective cancer incidence rate and the 6th highest childhood cancer screening methods for childhood-related cancers. In general, mortality rate in the U.S from 2008-2012. Only 40.3% of all white children tend to have a slightly higher cancer incidence new cases with known stage information are diagnosed at rate compared to black children, but the difference is not early stages of the disease. Of the 1,527 new invasive cancer statistically significant. Over this five year period, the age cases in children less than 20 years of age in TN from 2008 to adjusted incidence rate for childhood cancers was 182.1 per 2012, blacks accounted for about one out of every five (18.6%) 1,000,000 and the mortality rate was 25.0 per 1,000,000.
