Incidence of cancer in children in the United States. Sex‐, race‐, and 1‐year age‐specific rates by histologic type

Background. Rates of cancer in children usually are presented in 5‐year age groups, despite large variations of incidence within these groups. The purpose of this report is to provide histology‐specific incidence rates within single‐year age groups, stratified by sex and race, among children.
