Pediatric Solid Tumors

Pediatric solid tumors are abnormal growths of cells in children that form solid masses, rather than liquid like blood cancers. These tumors can occur in various parts of the body, such as the brain, abdomen, or bones, and include types like neuroblastoma and Wilms tumor. They are part of pediatric hematology-oncology, the field that focuses on children's blood disorders and cancers. While treatment options vary, they may include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Early detection and treatment are crucial for improving outcomes and increasing the chances of recovery.
