Radiation Oncology is the branch of cancer therapy which makes use of a high-energy radiation beam to target and destroy the cancer cells and stop their replication inside the body. Radiation therapy can be used alone or as an adjunct therapy along with surgery and chemotherapy for the management of cancer. About 22.5 lakhs people are currently living with cancer in India and about 7.5 lakhs die every year owing to it. Early detection and treatment are the keys to cancer survival. The goal of cancer treatment is to destroy the cancer cell, thus allowing the body to function normally.
Given that this speciality involves the entire gamut of surgical services in children affecting various organs of their body, our multidisciplinary team of paediatricians, paediatric surgeons, paediatric oncologists, paediatric urologists and neonatologists pit their expertise together to perform a wide range of surgeries in newborns and children. In neonatal surgery, some conditions include gastroschisis - a birth defect hole in the abdominal wall; in paediatric urology surgery, certain urological conditions, such as hypospadias are frequently present at birth or in young people; paediatric oncology surgery deals with common childhood cancers such as leukemia.
This rare speciality of surgery deals with the diseases, malformations and trauma among children from the womb to their teenage years. The paediatric surgeons’ scope of surgical prowess encompasses all conditions in this age group, particularly small children.
