cancer can attack any person at any age depends on how your body is being abuse (personal abuse or environment abuse). personal- like doing things that are prohibited for you to do.environment- like some sort of industry that produces bad chemicals that we take unintentionally.( see the film ERIN BROCKOVICH)

For the same reason I got cancer:
because we don't know, so we don't have much to protect us.
For now I know that working with asbestos and working with wood dust without a protection mask was not smart, but nobody stopped me from doing so.
As nobody stops anybody from breathing in I don't know how bad air, from eating food with I don't know how many pesticides, from drinking water treated with I don't know what...
What I do know is my father and his brother also died from cancer, so genetics also plays a factor, but I think you cannot blame the personal factor when you don't know or wont study all the other factors.
Now I am old and my father and uncle also were old when they got cancer, so I don't know why a child must get it these days.
"I don't know" is a big political factor, also it is amazing that I learned a lot in school but cannot answer this simple question.
I think I know why, but we need a bigger voice in order to protect our children (and ourselves) from cancer.

Just part of life. Everyone is different. Our bodies work in similar but very different ways.. (if that makes sense). It's just one of those things in life "that is" without explanation. Something we have to accept regardless of explanation or not. Bummer...but no choice. PEACE!

Mostly it is a combination of genetic predisposition and exposure to carcinogenic substances in food ,water or earth.

All I know is...
when I saw the little ones going thru the war I was facing, I knew that if they could do it, I could do it too and I'd better not whine 'cuz the little ones had smiles and I kept my smile in honor of them.

Some cancers happen more often in children than in adults. As for the "why" it might sound cruel, but disease is natures way to keep us from overpopulating. It's a terrible thought and I certainly don't wish anyone to get cancer (I'm a 25 year old survivor myself) but every human has to eventually accept that we are merely mortal.
If you have a child, make sure you give them the best out of life that you can, because you just never know what tomorrow will bring.

because their genetics predetermined them to have cancer most of the time...sometimes, there are conditions that can cause it, too.

Cancer does not care if you are an adult or a child. He chooses his victim and thats it. I really feel for the children though as most of them can hardly talk and to top it - the pain they are experiencing both in terms of the cancer and medication. Noone can really understand them and that is heart rendering.

Many answers to this all are probably correct, What type of cancer?
My child battled Neuroblastoma for five years from 10 - 15 best five years of our life! we actually lived each day as if it were the most important and we would not have a chance to do it over. most people take their children and life for granted, it takes something like cancer to bring us all together, yes I miss her dearly, but I would relive those years over and over!

the same reason adults do, I guess, even if it is just unfathomable to see a child suffer
