Question

Why is treating pediatric cancer so difficult?

Answer

Pediatric cancer patients often suffer from gene mutations caused by congenital factors, leading to high malignancy and difficulty in treatment, with a short survival time. For these patients, the main treatment method is surgical removal to improve quality of life. However, the uniqueness of children makes it difficult for them to express their feelings, and often by the time they are diagnosed, it is already in the middle or late stage, affecting the effectiveness of treatment. In addition, the cure rate for pediatric cancer is relatively low.
