Children's Cancer Cure

Based on the cancer type, moderate or high-grade, the position of the tumor in the body, age, and condition of the child, the specialized doctors engaged in screening and guiding on medication will offer various alternatives for different kids.

An MDT (multidisciplinary team) session is generally when patients' treatment choices are reviewed. This enables a team of neuroscience, neuro-oncology, and neurosurgery specialists to review the data and determine the best treatment choices for every child.

 

• Tumor surgery

It is a procedure used to remove tumors from the body.

This is generally the initial move in treating most cancers, and it is referred to as a resection. It can be complete or half. The goal is to eliminate as much of the tumor as feasible while minimizing injury to other body areas.

 

• Radiotherapy.

The employment of high radiation to eliminate cancer cells is known as radiotherapy for cancers. It's normally given by a big device from the outside of the body, with radiation rays aimed as accurately as conceivable at the precise form of the tumor: this is known as 'external beam radiotherapy (EBRT).

 

• Chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy is a treatment that comprises medications that are usually administered as tablets or as a liquid injected into the bloodstream during a hospital stay. Chemotherapy can be used to cure some forms of cancers on its own, although it is most usually administered after surgery and/or radiation has decreased the tumor size.

 

• Steroids.

Steroids are frequently used to treat and avoid irritation around a tumor, especially after surgery or radiation.

 

• Immunotherapy.

Immunotherapy works by stimulating the body's immunological mechanism to fight cancer cells. Although there is no demonstrated therapeutic immunological medication for cancers at this time, many scientists claim it should be a crucial tool in the fight against cancer.

 

• Ketogenic diet.

Minimal carbohydrate, medium protein, and high-fat content define a ketogenic diet. It has not been demonstrated to be effective in treating brain tumors. Additional study is being done to see if it can improve the efficacy of other therapies, but more data is required before valid findings can be formed.
