What are some of the symptoms of childhood cancer?
Cancers in children often are difficult to recognize. Parents should see that their children have regular medical checkups and should be alert to any unusual signs or symptoms that persist. These include an unusual mass or swelling; unexplained paleness and loss of energy; sudden tendency to bruise; a persistent, localized pain or limping; prolonged, unexplained fever or illness; frequent headaches, often with vomiting; sudden eye or vision changes; and excessive, rapid weight loss.
