A member asked:
Is it possible for a 15 year old get cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It happens: Cancer can affect a person at any point of life from birth on. I have seen babies develop leukemia in the first year and one infant with uterine cancer before the age of 3. If you have concerns about cancer or any other condition it is worthwhile to share your concerns with your pcp and have any appropriate evaluation done.
