What are some cancers that teens are more likely to get?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A mix: Hodgkin's and testicular carcinoma top the list, with some of the less-common ovarian cancers and brain tumors next. Malignant melanoma, osteosarcomas, ewing's sarcoma, thyroid cancers (mostly low-grade), soft tissue sarcoma, acute leukemias (lymphoblastic and some myelogenous) and non-hodgkin's lymphoma are also relatively common among teens.
