description Compared to developed countries, only a limited number of studies systematically engage with India’s experience with the burden of childhood cancer and its implications for public healthcare in the country. This study aims to assess the long-term trend in the incidence of cancerous conditions, demographic factors, and the burden of the disease among children. The study has used the Madras Metropolitan Tumor Registry (MMTR), covering cancer cases reported among children (0–14 years) in Chennai for the last 34 years (1982–2016). The study analyses the incidence of the pediatric tumor for different age groups, gender, and type of cancer and the long-term trend over the years and compares the same with existing studies. The trend indicates that more cases are reported during 2007-11and the least number of cases are reported during 2012–2016 (respectively 16.7% and 11.9% of total cases reported).
