A blastoma is a type of cancer, more common in children, that is caused by malignancies in precursor cells, often called blasts. Examples are nephroblastoma, medulloblastoma, and retinoblastoma. All cells have a life cycle. They exist for a certain amount of time, and then they die. The body’s cells are constantly renewing themselves. Cancer cells are ones that do not die at the natural time in their life cycle. Instead, they grow uncontrollably, spreading and causing tissue damage. Blastoma is cancer that affects a type of stem cell known as a precursor cell in a fetus. A precursor cell is one that can become any type of body cell.
