Children’s cancer anxiety
A poll by MORI shows that children are more worried about the risk of
losing a friend or relative to cancer than about war or terrorism. The survey,
commissioned by Cancer Research UK, shows that 41 per cent of 11- to 16-
year-olds know someone who has had the disease. As children move into their
later teens the level of anxiety about cancer increases sharply.
