Childhood neoplasms are relatively rare and represent only about 1- 2% of the total incidence of neoplasms in United States.

Li Fraumeni Syndrome refers to an autosomal dominant condition that is manifested by the development of certain cancers in early childhood and an increased lifetime risk for developing multiple primary cancers including sarcoma, breast cancer, leukemia, bone cancer, and others.
