Pediatric Cancer Treatment

Pediatric cancer treatment often involves a combination of therapies tailored to the child's specific diagnosis and health. Common approaches include chemotherapy (using drugs to destroy cancer cells), radiation therapy (using high-energy beams to target tumors), surgery (removing tumors), and sometimes stem cell transplants. Researchers also explore targeted therapies that attack cancer cells more precisely. The goal is to eliminate the cancer while minimizing side effects, supporting growth and development, and maintaining quality of life. Treatment plans are carefully designed by medical teams to balance effective cancer control with the child's overall well-being.
