Most of the increase appears to be driven by an increase in leukemia, which has increased by about 35 percent since 1975. While leukemic is the most common cancer in children, it is not the only type to see an increase in incidence. There is an increase of about 42 percent in soft tissue cancers developing in muscle and bone, while there is a 34 percent increase in non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma.
