    What is Pediatric Cancer?

    What is Pediatric Cancer?

    Pediatric cancer, also known as childhood cancer, refers to cancers that develop in children from birth to 14 years of age. These cancers are rare and can differ from the cancers found in adults in terms of how they grow and spread, how these cancers are treated, and how the cancers respond to treatment.
    Cancer refers to a disease in which certain body cells grow uncontrollably and start spreading to other parts of the body.
    Pediatric cancer is a rare condition and can usually be treated and even cured completely if detected early. However, the affected child may require lifelong monitoring and care to check the impact of the disease on their overall health.
    At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our pediatric specialists and oncologists ensure an early diagnosis and treatment for childhood cancer in Ahmedabad to improve the general health and well-being of the cancer-affected child.

    Pediatric Cancer Diagnosis

    Pediatric Cancer Diagnosis

    The first step for pediatric cancer diagnosis involves a thorough physical evaluation of the child. The doctor will ask about the child’s symptoms. The child’s medical history and family history of cancer are also noted. The following tests may then be recommended to arrive at an accurate diagnosis:
    • Blood tests: To check for irregularities in blood cells.
    • Imaging tests: Tests like CT scans, MRI scans, PET scans, and ultrasounds help see the images of the child’s internal organs or tissues.
    • Biopsy: Fluid or tissue samples are taken and examined under the microscope to check for cancer cells.
    • Bone marrow aspiration: A sample of the bone marrow is taken to check for cancer.
    • Genetic tests: Checks for genetic mutations that may be associated with specific types of pediatric cancers.
    • Lumbar puncture: The cerebrospinal fluid/CSF (clear fluid surrounding the brain and the spine) is checked for the presence of cancer cells or tumor markers.

    Treatment Procedure for Pediatric Cancer

    At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our expert pediatric oncologists in Ahmedabad offer a personalized treatment plan based on the type and severity of cancer present, as well as the child’s condition.

    The various treatment options may include:

    • Surgery: Surgical removal of tumors or cancerous tissue.
    • Chemotherapy: Use of chemotherapy drugs to kill the cancer cells or slow down their growth.
    • Radiation therapy: Use of a machine that delivers radiation to kill or shrink the cancer cells, or implanting a device that provides radiation to the tumor.
    • Immunotherapy: Use of certain drugs that boost the body’s immune system to fight cancer.
    • Targeted therapy: Use of medications that target specific cancer cells or cancer cell weaknesses associated with specific gene mutations.
    • Stem cell transplant: For leukemia or lymphoma, high-dose chemotherapy is first used to kill the cancer cells. The damaged bone marrow is then replaced with healthy stem cells or blood-forming cells from a donor.
