Pediatric Radiation Oncology

Paediatric radiation oncology treats childhood cancers with carefully planned radiation, taking great care to protect growing tissues. Young children may need light sedation or anaesthesia to stay still.

Treatment is part of a plan with paediatric oncologists, with long-term follow-up for growth, hormones and learning.
