Prof Gita Naidu who is the Head of Paediatric Oncology at CHBAH, Academic Head of Paediatric Oncology at the University of the Witwatersrand and Chair of South African Association of Paediatric Haematology Oncology says parents who notice ongoing symptoms of childhood cancer should visit the paediatric haematology and oncology clinic. Early signs of childhood cancers include white spot in the eye, new squint, sudden blindness or bulging eyeball. Some children have a lump on the stomach, pelvis, head, arms, legs, testicle or glands, while others have aching bones, joints, back and easy fractures.
