Facts and Myths about Cancer in Children

Our paediatric oncology experts, Dr Shashank and Dr Anand debunk several myths and provide clarity on childhood cancer as they discuss whether childhood cancers are linked to birth defects, emphasising that most cancers in children are not hereditary or congenital but arise from abnormal cell growth.

They also explore whether cancer cases in children are increasing in India, explaining that while advancements in diagnosis have led to more cases being detected, the overall incidence is still relatively low.

The doctors provide insights on how to recognize early symptoms of childhood cancer, such as unexplained fatigue, swelling, or persistent fevers, and stress the importance of early detection for effective treatment.

They address concerns about whether treatment for cancer in children is lifelong, reassuring parents that treatments can lead to full recovery, although follow-up care is necessary.

Vaccination for children after chemotherapy is another common question, and the experts highlight the importance of rebuilding the immune system through scheduled vaccinations once treatment is complete.

As experienced paediatric oncologists, they frequently respond to parents' concerns, offering comprehensive advice and guiding families toward the best course of action to ensure their child's health and recovery.
