Pediatric oncology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of childhood cancers. These cancers can affect various organs and tissues in the body, including leukemia, lymphoma, brain tumors, bone tumors, and solid tumors. Pediatric oncologists are trained to provide comprehensive care for children with cancer, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, and targeted therapies. They work closely with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, including pediatric surgeons, radiation oncologists, pediatric nurses, and social workers, to develop individualized treatment plans tailored to each child’s specific cancer type, stage, and overall health. Additionally, pediatric oncologists provide supportive care to manage side effects of treatment, address psychosocial needs, and support the overall well-being of pediatric cancer patients and their families.
