3. Cases and Rates by Site and Subsite
This section provides number of cases and age-adjusted incidence rates by major cancer sites and subsites and by demographic factors among children aged 0 to 19 in the National Childhood Cancer Registry (NCCR).
- Age-adjusted incidence rates are highest for leukemia (49.6 per 1,000,000), for malignant central nervous system neoplasms (32.7 per 1,000,000), and lymphomas (29.6 per 1,000,000) from 2008-2017 (Figure 3.1).
- The most common subsite of leukemias is lymphoid leukemia (Table 3.1).
- Statistics for non-malignant central nervous system neoplasms and germ cell tumors are available starting with 2004 data (Table 3.2).

# Cancer site definitions are based on International Classification of Childhood Cancer (ICCC). All cancers are malignant unless otherwise noted.
*Rates are per 1,000,000 and are age-adjusted to the 2000 US Std Population (19 age groups - Census P25-1130).
