Pediatric Sarcoma Surgery

Pediatric sarcoma surgery involves the removal of tumors that develop in children's bones or soft tissues, known as sarcomas. This type of surgery is crucial for accurately diagnosing the cancer and eliminating the tumor to prevent it from spreading. Surgeons often work in specialized teams that include pediatric oncologists, which ensures the best care tailored to a child's unique needs. After surgery, further treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation may be recommended to address any remaining cancer cells. The goal is to achieve the best possible outcome while considering the child’s growth and development.
