6. Blastomas

Blastoma tumors form from embryonic tissue, in cells that are still developing, and thus doctors diagnose this type of cancer in children more often than adults. All types of blastoma can be difficult to treat. They can appear in the brain, the retina of the eye, the bones, or even inside the nervous system. As they frequently affect children, they are one of the most concerning varieties on this list and are extremely difficult to treat effectively with surgery.
