Will chemotherapy or radiation affect a child’s growth and development?

1y trước

A child’s growth and development are affected by many different factors. For example, the type of cancer, stage, and location will help us to determine the type of treatment the child needs to get for the greatest chance for a cure. Your treating Pediatric Oncologist will discuss the various options, and the risks involved with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery, and its acute and late side effects. Our goal is always to cure first with the least possible side effects.
