Pediatric Surgery For Cancerous And Non Cancerous Tumors In India

 

Pediatric Cancer Surgery

Surgery has an integral role in treating most childhood cancers. Whether surgically removing a tumor, supporting non-surgical treatment such as chemotherapy, or performing reconstructive surgery, the pediatric surgery team at the We Care India partner hospital is involved in the comprehensive care that each child receives here.

Cancer can develop virtually anywhere in the body, from the head (brain, eyes) to the chest and abdomen, to the legs (osteosarcoma/bone cancer). Neuroblastoma (diagnosed usually in babies and young children) and leukemia are much more common among children than cancers of the brain, spine, bones or solid organs. Common or rare, pediatric surgeons and other cancer specialists at We Care India partner Children’s hospital have the experience and expertise to address them all…..

 

Complete Range of Surgical Expertise

General surgeons, neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons work frequently with children who have cancer. Depending on the child’s diagnosis and specific needs, other types of surgeons may participate also, such as plastic and reconstructive surgeons, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists (ENTs), cardiothoracic surgeons or urologists. These specialized surgeons address a variety of issues that a child may have — before, during or after their cancer surgery……

 

Surgery’s Role in Cancer Treatment

The surgeon’s role varies in pediatric cancer care. Sometimes, the surgeons “do surgery”; and other times they don’t — yet still may be involved in the child’s care. At the We Care India partner hospital, all children benefit from the teamwork of various physicians, as well as other members of the pediatric cancer care team.

 

Here is a look at some of the common ways that pediatric surgeons may be a part of a child’s cancer care : -

Minimally Invasive Surgery to Remove Tumors : -

The pediatric surgeons at We Care India partner Children’s hospital are recognized worldwide as leaders in using minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat a variety of conditions in children, including some cancers…..

 

Experts in Standard Surgery, Too : -

Just because minimally invasive is newer doesn’t always mean it’s the best option for every child. Our surgeons are skilled in the full spectrum of surgical options, from minimally invasive to traditional open surgery. We recommend the approach that best meets each child’s needs…..

 

Combining Surgical Treatment with Other Therapies : -

If surgery is recommended (minimally invasive or traditional surgery), it often is one component of a multi-dimensional approach to eliminating cancer. For example, surgery to remove a tumor in the kidney may be followed with chemotherapy to destroy remaining cancer cells…..

 

Brain and Spinal Tumors : -

University of Chicago pediatric neurosurgeons use minimally invasive techniques to reach tumors that may be deep within the brain or within the spine, including tumors that cannot be reached by traditional surgery…..

 

Bone Cancer : -

Surgery to remove tumors is the standard treatment for bone cancer (osteosarcoma). At many hospitals, that means amputation. At the We Care India partner hospital, we use innovative techniques to avoid amputation……

 

Leukemia and Lymphoma : -

Leukemia (a bone marrow- and blood-related malignancy) is the most common type of cancer among children. There are several different types of leukemia which, together, account for about one-third of all childhood cancers. Lymphomas are related, but not as common in children…….

 

 

Research and Innovation Leads to Better Solutions for Childhood Cancers

We never stop looking for better ways to treat childhood cancers and eliminate the long-term effects of treatment — from using less invasive methods of surgery, to investigating promising anti-cancer drugs, to exploring radiation therapy methods that target the cancer cells precisely without harming healthy tissue, to fine-tuning imaging technologies that enable doctors to view the body’s interior in great detail.

Today, we are on the forefront of research aimed at improving options for children with cancer. The We Care India partner hospital is a leading participant in the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) of India, which offers the newest promising therapies to kids, long before they’re widely available.
