Leukemia mortality rate among children in urban and rural China 2021, by age group
In 2021, the death rate of leukemia among children under 14 years of age in China remained relatively low. Thanks to better healthcare services, Chinese children living in urban regions generally had lower risks of death from leukemia than their counterparts in rural areas. Leukemia is the most common cancer among children and young people in China. With the help of chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, many types of leukemia are now curable.
