Blood cancer in kids: 10-year-old actor Rahul Koli was suffering from leukemia when he died on October 2, before the release of his film Chhellow Show, India's official entry to the Oscars. While his family didn't reveal a lot about the disease, his father said he kept vomiting profusely before he took his last breath.

Childhood leukemia or blood cancer is the most common type of cancer found in teenagers and kids all across the world. While the treatment and the diagnosis at the right time are important and decide the fate of one's health, children appear to be more receptive to such treatments than adults.

WHAT IS BLOOD CANCER AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT YOUR BODY?
As described by the international cancer organisation, leukemia is cancer that affects your white blood cells, responsible for fighting infection and diseases. White blood cells are a major part of our body's immune system. When these cells get affected, abnormal white cells are formed in the bone marrow which travels through the bloodstream and reaches the other parts of your body, pressurising the healthy cells. When these healthy cells turn abnormal, the body's chances of attracting infection and diseases increase and it weakens.
Kids and teens are considered to be stronger than adults to fight such infections. As the body is still learning to develop and combat any abnormality inside, young ones give a better response to cancer treatments.

BLOOD CANCER IN KIDS: RISK FACTORS
Children generally don't have any common risk factors unless an existing disease that your child's body is already fighting. This may include health conditions by birth including common infections and immunity-related issues.
The chances increase if there's already someone who is suffering or has suffered from blood cancer in the family. This is called Li-Fraumeni Syndrome which means 'hereditary cancer predisposition'. The risk of cancer in kids increases on the basis of the infected genes.
If the child has been exposed to any sort of radiation therapy or excessive use of chemicals such as benzene during any treatment in the past, the risk of the body attracting blood cancer increases.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF BLOOD CANCER IN KIDS?
Most children and kids do not show any uncommon symptoms or signs while suffering from leukaemia. This is an immunity-related disease and the symptoms include everything that anyone with a compromised immune system experiences.
Excessive fatigue: If your child feels tired all the time, or is unable to exert himself/ herself physically while playing with other kids, it could be a sign of an immune system that has been or is being attacked. Note that the child could not be doing anything to exert one's body and would still be feeling weak. That's unexplained fatigue and should be get checked.
Bleedings or bruising: Kids grow up with all sorts of injuries - tiny ones that just fade away in a few days and some serious ones, that require a doctor's attention. However, if you find your child bleeding everytime he/ she bumps into something or simply trips while playing with other kids, it could be a sign of a bigger problem.
