Pediatric oncology deals with treating cancer found in children and adolescents. Even though most types of cancers are common in adults and children, children have different needs. They must be treated by someone who understands these needs thoroughly. With timely diagnosis and correct treatment, pediatric oncologists can cure more than 80% of children with malignant disease. But thanks to the ever-developing medical technology, for many cancers more than 90% of cancer patients who are kids can be treated entirely.
Opting for a pediatric oncologist is vital since they are professionally trained to treat kids and young adults.
The different types of cancer that can be found in children are as follows:
Children must be checked for cancer if they showcase the following symptoms:
These symptoms could be related to other infections, too. However, it's advised to check for cancer if the symptoms sustain for long periods of time.
You will be consulting a pediatric oncologist once your child is diagnosed with cancer. Your paediatrician will mostly refer you to a pediatric oncologist. Cancer in children is rarer than cancer in adults making it vital to research the doctors before choosing the right one for your child. Children are prone to contracting several infections, which could display the same symptoms as cancer. Only a pediatric oncologist will be able to diagnose it properly. Thus, relying simply on referrals won't be enough. To choose an excellent pediatric oncologist, you will have to:
Book an appointment with the doctor you feel would be the right fit. Sometimes pediatric oncologists might ask to retake specific tests or get additional tests done just to be sure and be prepared for it. After the tests, if they confirm it to be cancer, the doctor will suggest treatments based on the nature of the tumour. Cancer can be overwhelming both for the patients and parents; an excellent pediatric oncologist is one who understands this and provides you with mental and emotional support by referring you to a few psychologists.
Doctors conduct a number of tests to diagnose pediatric cancer. Some of them are:
If the above-mentioned tests confirm the presence of cancer, the doctor will suggest treatments based on the nature of the cancer. These tests help categorise and describe the nature of cancer thoroughly so that no additional diagnostic tests would be required. However, your doctor may repeat them during treatment to determine their success rate.
