children with cancer

Children with cancer have abnormal cells that grow uncontrollably, forming tumors or spreading throughout the body. Their immune systems may become weaker, making it harder to fight infections. Treatment options often include chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or targeted therapies to eliminate cancer cells. The goal is to cure the disease or control its progression while supporting the child's overall health. Childhood cancers are different from adult cancers in type and behavior, and with advances in medicine, many children successfully recover and lead healthy lives. Providing emotional support and specialized care is essential for the child's well-being during treatment.
