What Is Pediatric Oncology?
Pediatric oncology is the branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating cancer in children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 0–18). Pediatric cancers differ from adult cancers in how they grow, respond to treatment, and affect the child’s body — requiring specialized expertise and a different therapeutic approach.
