BEST CHILDHOOD CANCER TREATMENT OPTIONS TODAY

Childhood cancer care is improving. Explore simple and effective treatment options that help more children recover.

WHAT IS CHILDHOOD CANCER

Childhood cancer affects children under 19 and includes leukemia, brain tumors and solid tumors. Early diagnosis and personalized care make outcomes better.

MOST COMMON TYPES

The most common cancers in children include leukemia, brain and spinal tumors, lymphomas, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor and sarcomas.

HOW TREATMENT IS CHOSEN

Doctors create a plan based on cancer type, stage and age. Care may include surgery, chemo, radiation or advanced treatments.

SURGERY AND CHEMOTHERAPY

Surgery removes tumors when possible. Chemotherapy destroys cancer cells and is a standard treatment for many pediatric cancers.

RADIATION THERAPY

Radiation targets cancer cells with precision. It is often used for brain tumors or when surgery cannot remove the full cancer.

TARGETED AND IMMUNOTHERAPY

New treatments like targeted therapy and CAR T cell therapy help the immune system attack cancer more accurately with fewer side effects.

STEM CELL TRANSPLANTS

For aggressive cancers, a stem cell transplant helps replace damaged bone marrow and restart healthy blood cell production.

HOPE AND SURVIVAL TODAY

Childhood cancer survival rates continue to improve with early intervention and advanced therapies. Many children go on to live full healthy lives.
