In fact, cancer is very rare in children, so no routine screening test is recommended for normal children. But for children who have genetic risk, doctors may advise them to undergo genetic counseling or testing.

American Cancer Society Common symptoms of cancer in children include a new lump or swelling in the neck, chest, armpit, or abdomen. Excessive fatigue without any reason is also an important early sign.

Injuries without any reason, bleeding easily or difficulty in stopping bleeding, pain without any reason, staggering or limping while walking can also be signs of serious diseases.

Symptoms like unknown fever, prolonged illness, vomiting with frequent headaches, sudden changes in eyes or vision should not be ignored. Seeing a white glow between the eyes is also a warning.

Rapid weight loss without any effort is also a common symptom. Although these symptoms can also be seen in many common diseases, but if the symptoms persist then definitely consult a doctor.

The doctor first understands the medical history and symptoms of the child and then conducts a physical examination. If necessary, they can get the lump examined by blood test, imaging test or biopsy.
