Abstract
Paediatric oncology in developing countries is a speciality in its own right that has so far been largely neglected by the western medical profession. It has specific features of genetic cancer predisposition and of external factors influencing phenotypic cancer manifestations. We point out here some of the specific features of cancer presentation in children of developing countries.Keywords
