Children can get afflicted by a variety of blood disorders and cancerous conditions. Fortunately, as compared to adults, the incidence of cancer in children is much less and the cure rates are much higher. However, in absolute numbers, the magnitude of this problem is not small and about 75,000 children in India are diagnosed with cancer every year.
Children are not miniature adults. The diseases that are found in children and their treatment are fundamentally different from adults, particularly cancer. Thus, sick children suffering from cancer need and deserve specialized care from pediatricians who are especially trained to care for such children. Our center is one of the very few centers in India capable of managing all kinds of childhood cancers. We have a team of internationally trained pediatric hemato-oncologists who are widely experienced in diagnosing and treating some of the rare cancers and blood disorders of childhood.
We understand the vital role that parents and families play in such situations. Receiving such news can be devastating at the outset. We recognize the importance of educating parents, understanding their challenges and developing plans through a shared decision-making process with them. It is important to understand that with proper protocolized care, a majority of children can actually be cured and go on to live normal lives.
