Pediatric Radiotherapy

Pediatric radiotherapy is a medical treatment that uses targeted radiation to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors in children. It carefully delivers high-energy rays to affected areas, aiming to minimize damage to healthy tissue. This approach is tailored specifically for children, considering their developing bodies and long-term health. While effective in combating cancer, radiotherapy can have side effects, which healthcare teams weigh against the benefits. Overall, it’s a specialized treatment approach designed to maximize cancer control while protecting the child’s growth and future well-being.
