Tumor Surgery in Children

Tumor surgery in children involves removing abnormal growths, or tumors, from the body. This procedure is typically performed by a specialized surgeon who focuses on pediatric cases. The surgery aims to eliminate cancerous or non-cancerous tumors, alleviate symptoms, and improve the child's quality of life. Prior to surgery, doctors assess the tumor's type, size, and location using imaging tests. Post-surgery, children may require follow-up treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation, depending on the tumor's nature. Support from medical teams, family, and caregivers is crucial for the child's recovery and emotional well-being during this challenging time.
