The  5-year  survival  rate  for  all  childhood  (0  to  19  years  of  age)  cancers  is  now  >80%1;  however,  malignant  neoplasms  remain  the  second  leading  cause  of  death  for  U.S.  children  age  5  to  14  years.2  Globally,  the  American  Cancer  Society  estimates  that  less  than  40%  of  children  younger  than  15  years  with  cancer  are  adequately  diagnosed  and  treated.3  The  most  common  childhood  malignancies  are  discussed  below.
