Haematopoietic cancers remain most common type in Namibia. However, there has been a change in the ranking of the other childhood cancer subtypes over the last 3 decades. Good access to diagnosis and treatment modalities was noted as key to detection and clinical outcomes in the last 10 years (2011 to 2020).
