Overall for teens and children (ages 0 to 14) in the United States, cancer is the number one cause of death for these age groups. Across all races and ethnicities, death from cancer is highest among African-American teens and children, as well as teenagers and young adults. Overall for both sexes and age group, cancer is the eighth leading cause of death. While cancer is most commonly found in adults, it can also occur in children and teens.
Leukemia is a disease that affects the blood cells. Most often, leukemias originate from exposure to the common allergens, such as dust and pet dander. These cells become abnormal because of a lack of blood cell production. Leukemia is the second main type of cancer that occurs in children. It accounts for more than half of all cancer deaths among children. Leukemia is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among all subtypes of childhood leukemia.
Brain and lung cancers account for over half of all cancer deaths among children, and almost half of all cancer deaths in adults. These types of cancers can occur in the oral cavity, rectum, vagina, mouth, breast milk, skin, bones, and abdomen. The most common cancers in adults occur in the lungs, skin, liver, and cervix. While some of these types of cancer occur primarily in males, they are rarely found in females. Overall, most types of cancer affect both men and women.
One of the main reasons why childhood cancers outnumber cancer deaths in adults is because the risk factors for all cancers are greater in adults than in children. The risk factors include heredity, social and environmental factors. Heredity is passed down from parents to children. Children who have parents who have certain types of cancers, such as leukemia or lymphoma, are at a greater risk of developing these cancers themselves. Age is also a factor in whether or not someone will develop one of these cancers.
The risk factors for all types of cancer tend to increase with age. In fact, some cancers tend to appear later in life than others. For example, common cancers that affect young adults tend to appear in their twenties and thirties, while cancers that affect middle-aged and older people tend to appear in their forties and fifties. The risk factors for common types of cancer tend to be similar for all people of all ages.
There are also some common cancers that tend to affect older adults at a younger age. An example of this is squamous cell lung cancer, which tends to affect middle-aged and older adults. Also, colorectal cancer can occur in younger people as well. Herpes B virus and human immunodeficiency virus are other viruses that can cause certain forms of cancer to appear in people of all ages.
It is also possible for men to develop testicular cancer, as well as tumors that form in the pelvic region. Other forms of tumors that tend to affect younger men include adenocarcinomas and testicular mucinous carcinomas. While adenocarcinomas are generally benign, testicular mucinous carcinomas can be malignant or cancerous. A testicular mass can be lumpy and shaped, or have an odd shape.
As with any type of cancer, it is important that anyone who may have signs or symptoms of these different types of cancers seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms of some of these diseases are not always immediately obvious, and therefore they can go unnoticed. In addition, even though these diseases tend to affect older adults, they can affect children as well. Symptoms of these different kinds of cancer can include swelling, stiffness of the muscles or joints, weight loss, fatigue, pain in or around the stomach, and abdominal discomfort. If a person notices any of these symptoms persisting, they should see a doctor for a proper diagnosis. These can be warning signs of more serious problems, so it is important that anyone who has any of these warning signs does get checked out by a doctor.
