Childhood leukemia is a type of leukemia that affects children. Leukemia is cancer of the blood and develops in the bone marrow, the soft inner part of bones where new blood cells are made. When a child has leukemia the bone marrow produces white blood cells that do not mature correctly and continue to reproduce themselves. Normal healthy cells only reproduce when there is enough space for them. The body will regulate the production of cells by sending signals of when to stop production.

- Childhood leukemia is a type of leukemia that affects children. Leukemia is cancer of the blood and develops in the bone marrow, the soft inner part of bones where new blood cells are made. When a child has leukemia the bone marrow produces white blood cells that do not mature correctly and continue to reproduce themselves. Normal healthy cells only reproduce when there is enough space for them. The body will regulate the production of cells by sending signals of when to stop production. When a child has leukemia the cells do not respond to the signals telling them when to stop and when to produce cells, regardless of the available space.
