According to the World Health Organization, in 2022, more than 275,000 children and adolescents (aged 0-19 years old) were diagnosed with cancer worldwide and more than 105,000 children died from cancer. However, the actual numbers may be much higher, because in many countries, childhood cancer is difficult to diagnose.
