A survey of 198 children with cancer found that their gaming preferences were similar to healthy children, with both groups preferring adventure and exploration games featuring animal and fantasy characters. The survey also found that boys with cancer enjoyed fighting games more than girls with cancer, consistent with general gaming preferences between boys and girls.
