Pediatric Surgical Oncology

Pediatric surgical oncology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating cancer in children through surgery. Unlike adult oncology, pediatric oncology considers the unique biological and emotional aspects of childhood cancers. Surgeons in this field remove tumors and perform complex procedures to help children recover and improve their chances of survival. They work closely with pediatric oncologists, nurses, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive care. The goal is not just to treat the cancer but also to support the child's overall health and development during and after treatment.
