"In the United States, the incidence of childhood cancer overall is approximately 125 per million persons, with slightly increased rates in boys and Caucasian children. Leukemias account for approximately 25% of all childhood cancers, followed by tumors of the CNS (17%), neuroblastoma (7%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (6%), Wilms tumor (6%), Hodgkin disease (5%), rhabdomyosarcoma (3%), retinoblastoma (3%), osteosarcoma (3%), and Ewing sarcoma (2%). Numerous rare tumor types account for the remainder."
Leukemias are usually treated exclusively with chemotherapy. The other kinds of cancers listed vary in how they are treated. Leukemia is basically cancer of the blood.
