Pediatric oncology is a specialised branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating cancer in children, recognising that cancers in young patients behave differently from adult cancers and require tailored care. It covers various cancers like leukemia, lymphomas, brain tumours and solid tumours and uses a mix of treatments — including chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and stem cell transplants — aimed at curing disease while minimising long‑term effects. Early detection of symptoms and a multidisciplinary team approach improve outcomes and support overall child development. With expert guidance from Dr Nandini Hazarika, families navigating paediatric cancer care receive compassionate, personalised support at every step of diagnosis and treatment.
