The incidence rate of childhood cancer is increasing in the United States. We sought to describe the epidemiology of childhood cancer in the state of Rhode Island. Data from the Rhode Island Cancer Registry was reviewed to assess incidence and trends in childhood cancer for individuals age 0-19 years from 1995-2015. Cancer mortality was based on deaths with cause of deaths associated with malignant cancers filed with the Rhode Island Vital Records and CDC National Center for Health Statistics. We found that pediatric cancer is increasing in Rhode Island. Between 1995-2015, there were 1,090 new diagnoses of childhood cancer. Leukemia, tumors of the central nervous system, and lymphomas are the most common types of cancer in children in the state. Additionally, the overall mortality rate from childhood cancer is decreasing. In conclusion, the childhood cancer trends in Rhode Island are consistent with the national data.
