Paediatric Oncosurgery
Surgical involvement in pediatric cancer therapy, beyond central venous access, include biopsy of solid tumors and surgical removal of solid tumors. Pediatric tumors we treat include teratoma, lymphoma, neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, hepatoblastoma and connective tissue sarcomas such as rhabdomyosarcoma as well as thyroid carcinoma.
Most pediatric cancer patients will require specialized central venous access procedures to facilitate chemotherapy and blood sampling and Pediatric Surgeons insert these Chemoports every day.
Mothers Care Children Hospital & Research Centre, Imphal & Downtown Hospital, Guwahati offer state of the art surgical treatment to Pediatric cancer patients. All cancer patients benefit from true multidisciplinary care, facilitated by a weekly tumor board meeting, in which specialists from Hematology /Oncology, Pediatric Surgery, Radiology and Pathology discuss therapeutic plans.
