Pediatric Cancer Therapy

Pediatric cancer therapy involves medical treatments designed to eliminate cancer in children. Common approaches include chemotherapy (using drugs to destroy cancer cells), radiation therapy (using targeted radiation to kill cancer), surgery (removing tumors), and targeted therapies (drugs that specifically attack cancer cells). Treatment is tailored to the child's specific type of cancer, age, and overall health. Pediatric cancer therapies aim to maximize effectiveness while minimizing side effects, often involving a team of specialists. Advances continue to improve outcomes, turning many childhood cancers into highly treatable conditions.
