Note:

Unlike cancers occurring in adults, cancers in children and adolescents are classified by morphology rather than by the site of the tumour. Data are primarily classified into 11 major cancer groups according to the International Classification of Childhood Cancer (ICCC) (Kramarova et al., 1996). Starting from 2020, data are reported according to the International Classification of Childhood Cancer (ICCC) (Steliarova-Foucher E, Third Edition). Due to the rarity of cancer in children and adolescents, incidence rates are generally expressed per 1,000,000.
