Treatments
Health care has made great progress in developing treatment programs for children and adolescents with cancer. Thanks to scientific research and the emphasis on multidisciplinary treatment, our success rates have increased dramatically. Currently, medical science can successfully treat 70 percent to 80 percent of children with cancer, if we are able to diagnose and treat them early.
Multidisciplinary treatment is important. Specialized nursing, pharmacy, rehabilitation, paramedical personnel, and access to increasingly complex equipment and facilities help us improve long-term survival and quality of life.
