Surgery for Solid tumours in Children
Childhood is the most delicate phase of life, when a child goes through a string of health problems. Recovery can depend on the most effective mode of treatment. At Manipal Hospitals, we leave no stone unturned in offering best practices in the treatment of paediatric conditions, especially in the domain of solid tumours, so children turn out to be healthy as they grow into adults.
Why choose Manipal Hospitals
Certain tumours manifest differently in children, either benign or cancerous. Our paediatricians and paediatric surgeons in Vijayawada put their specialized skills to optimal use in combating solid tumours in children. While some types of cancerous (malignant) tumours tend to occur in young children, others manifest in adolescents and young adults. Some children may become very ill while others may not display any symptoms. This is where our expert paediatricians determine which child needs chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. However, treatment for malignant solid tumours almost always involves all three treatment therapies.
Some solid tumours in childhood include, Wilms tumour, a common renal malignancy, Hepatoblastoma, a common liver tumour, Paediatric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), a rare occurrence, Thyroid cancer, another uncommon childhood malignancy that could be related to radiation exposure or genetic predisposition, Paediatric germ cell tumours, Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) a malignant tumour of mesenchymal (stem cells) origin, and bone and lung tumours.
