Innovative Cancer Care
We tackle the most difficult challenges, not only to provide the best possible health outcomes for our patients but also to drive innovation even further.
The following are the types of pediatric cancers that can be treated at our facility with high treatment efficacy:
Most childhood cancers respond better than adult cancers to the treatments. Unlike adults, children usually don’t have preexisting health issues. Therefore, we can choose the most effective treatment without the risk of exacerbating other health conditions.
At BMCHRC, we prioritize both cure and quality of life through a structured and collaborative approach to care for pediatric cancers. Each child’s treatment protocols and strategies are planned keeping in mind that long-term side effects are minimized. We ensure effective disease control during the treatment, minimizing the risk of relapse. We adjust treatments as the child grows, ensuring safe, precise, and compassionate care at every stage, supported by our advanced diagnostics, evidence-based protocols, and continuous monitoring.
At BMCHRC, chemotherapy is amongst the most effective and commonly recommended treatments for childhood cancers. It is highly effective on fast-growing cancer cells, which are common in children. In most cases, children’s bodies tolerate higher doses of chemotherapy better than adults. They also recover better, which allows doctors to use more intensive treatment if required. It is either used alone or in combination with surgery or radiation to shrink tumors and destroy remaining cancer cells. Such well-planned strategies at BMCHRC reduce the risk of recurrence. While chemotherapy can cause side effects, careful monitoring at BMCHRC helps manage them effectively.
At BMCHRCH, our advanced radiation therapies, such as LMAC-based therapies, use high-energy beams to eliminate cancer cells precisely with the least damage to surrounding healthy cells. This therapy may be recommended before or after surgery or chemotherapy to control tumor growth. However, radiation can cause side effects in young adults. So, at BMCHRC, its use is carefully planned, and sometimes the dose is limited to minimize the long-term effects. Our trained radiation oncologists focus on delivering the lowest effective dose for protecting healthy nearby tissues and supporting normal growth and development with the least long-term radiation effects. The treatment itself is painless, similar to an X-ray, and is delivered using precise techniques to minimize long-term effects.
At BMCHRC, surgery is recommended to remove a tumor or obtain a biopsy for diagnosis. In some cases, surgery is combined with chemotherapy or radiation. This improves the treatment outcomes. Surgery is sometimes planned to place medical devices such as chemoprts, PICC lines for chemotherapy administration. At BMCHRC, pediatric cancer surgeries are planned with outstanding care to remove cancer effectively while preserving normal function and supporting the child’s recovery and growth.
