Seamless support from diagnosis to post treatment care
Pediatric Hematology pertains to the pediatric specialty that addresses disorders affecting blood production and clotting specifically in children. In their early years, children are susceptible to blood production defects stemming from factors such as nutritional deficiencies, which can lead to conditions like megaloblastic anemia, iron deficiency anemia, or hemolytic anemias including Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia.
On the other hand, Pediatric Oncology represents a specialized domain of expertise dedicated to treating and curing children afflicted with conditions such as acute leukemia, neuroblastoma, lymph node cancer, and brain tumors, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. The precise cause of childhood malignancies remains largely unknown, but it is noteworthy that a significant proportion of these tumors and cancers are amenable to treatment.
Within the confines of Rainbow Children's Hospital, our Pediatric Hematology and Oncology departments possess a wealth of experience in managing high-risk cases, including Acute Leukemia, Lymphomas, and Solid Tumors. Our comprehensive care framework includes the provision of Intensive Care Services, Neurology, Nephrology, and Hepatology. This holistic approach is further fortified by an Infection Control Team, Dietician, Nutritionist, and Psychology experts, all working in unison to ensure the overall well-being of children following their treatment journey. Notably, we have successfully treated over 1400 cases of Pediatric malignancies, offering intensive care and curative solutions for children who need them most. Our team of expert Pediatric Oncologists possesses extensive experience in addressing a wide range of cancers and conducting bone marrow transplants, offering a fresh lease on life to these young patients.

The most common forms of blood conditions and pediatric cancer include the following:\n\n Bone marrow failure syndromes - Bone marrow failure is the result of the inability of the bone marrow to make proper blood cells. The treatment for this syndrome in children will depend on the cause of the failure.\n Clotting and bleeding disorders - This condition is caused when excessive and unnecessary clotting starts blocking the flow of blood to the vital organs. Blood-thinning medications can be used for treating this condition.\n Childhood cancers - Depending on the type and severity of cancer, you will get a number of treatment options for your child. This can include chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of some of these.\n Childhood skin cancer - Although very rare, skin cancer can still occur in children. If your child has an unusually large and odd-looking mole, you should immediately see a dermatologist.\n Leukemia or blood cancer - Children with blood cancers should be regularly monitored. This condition can be treated with radiation therapy, stem-cell transplants, chemotherapy, or a combination of these methods.\n Myelodysplasia - This is a rare bone marrow disease. Treatment of this condition is highly specialized. Failure to treat myelodysplasia can lead to leukemia or blood cancer.\n Survivorship - If your child has survived cancer, he/she can see side effects for months or even years after the treatment.
