Happy Halloween from the Pediatric Radiation Registry team! Have a fun and safe weekend 🎃

Pediatric cancers comprise a simultaneously rare but highly varied cadre of diseases. Among participants with non-central nervous system tumors in the PPCR, rhabdomyosarcoma (n=366), Ewings sarcoma (n=193), and neuroblastoma (n=177) are the most common.

The majority of our PPCR participants have a central nervous system (CNS) tumor diagnosis. Reference the chart for a histology breakdown.
