Bladder cancer is EXTREMELY rare in children, however, children who have had cancer are at an increased risk of developing bladdre cancer as adults.
The highest risk was seen in patients who had initially developed heritable retinoblastoma, a rare type of eye cancer mainly seen in children younger than five. Survivors of this type of cancer were more than nine times as likely to develop bladder cancer as childhood cancer survivors overall. Chemotherapy upped the likelihood of bladder cancer about four-fold.
But again, the risks were still small; about four in every 100,000 childhood cancer survivors would develop bladder cancer in a given year; 34 of every 100,000 retinoblastoma patients would.
Only a few esophogeal cancers in children have been reported. It’s so rare, I don’t even think stats exist on it…
