The World Health Organization reports that during the recent years
the rate of cancer raised, but the experts also note that the rate
of child’s cancer has not been raised either in Armenia or in other
countries, said Grigor Badalyan of the Ministry of Health.

According to him, in 2003 5951 cases of child cancer have been
registered, and in 2007 – 7294. Child cancer differs from adult
cancer. Child cancer develops faster, hence the parents should not slow
the speed and start the treatment. Children have more opportunities
to be 100% cured than adults, said G. Badalyan. According to him,
most children suffer blood cancer – leukemia.
