Childhood leukaemia | Increasing our understanding | Cancer Research UK

Katrin Ottersbach, based in Edinburgh, focuses her research on increasing our understanding of childhood leukaemia. Children's cancer is much less common than adult cancer. In the UK around 1,800 children (aged 0 - 14 years) are diagnosed with cancer each year. This number includes non cancerous (benign) brain tumours. Children develop different types of cancers than adults but they often have the same types of treatments.
