Nearly 200 will die this year

A new report from the Texas Cancer Registry estimates about 13-hundred Texans from infant to 19-years-old will be diagnosed with cancer this year, and nearly 200 will die from the disease.

The number of cancer cases has increased by about one-percent for children and one-and-a-half-percent for adolescents since 1995.
