Chemotherapy for Pediatric Cancers
Chemotherapy is a type of drug treatment used to treat pediatric cancers. It works by killing or slowing the growth of cancer cells. It is often used in combination with other treatments like surgery and radiation therapy. Chemotherapy is an important part of the overall treatment plan for pediatric cancers and has been shown to provide improved survival rates compared to other treatments. It can be used to cure some pediatric cancers or to prolong life or reduce symptoms in those with advanced stages of the disease. The side effects of chemotherapy can vary, depending on the drugs and doses used. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, and low blood cell counts.
