How common is childhood cancer? In New Zealand, approximately 150 children (birth to 14 years) are
diagnosed with cancer each year. Childhood cancer is rare - one percent
of the total of newly diagnosed New Zealanders with cancer.
More than eighty percent of patients diagnosed with a childhood cancer are cured as the result of treatment and it is estimated that one in 900 people aged between 16 and 34 years are childhood cancer survivors.
