Pediatric Oncologic Surgery

Pediatric oncologic surgery is a specialized field within pediatric surgery focused on diagnosing and treating cancers in children. Surgeons in this area perform procedures to remove tumors or affected tissues, which can help cure the child or alleviate symptoms caused by the cancer. These surgeries are carefully planned, taking into account the child's growth and development, and are often part of a larger treatment plan that may include chemotherapy or radiation. The goal is to ensure the best possible outcome for young patients while considering their unique needs and future health.
