 Hi, I am Dr. Vinay, Consentant Pediatric Hematology, Pediatric Oncology and bone marrow transplantation services at Manipal Hospital, Seshwodpur. Today, let me talk about childhood cancer. Children are affected with cancer world over and close to 3 lakh children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Every 3 minutes, a child is diagnosed with cancer. About 25% of the global burden of cancer is detected in India. However, the patient is not diagnosed early or not referred early. So, what are the warning signs of childhood cancer? Prolonged fever, not responding to usual lines of treatment. Unexplained pallor or unexplained bleeding symptoms like bleeding from gums, bleeding into the skin or bleeding from the oral cavity. Bony pains or limb in a normally growing child. Unusual lump or swelling in any part of the body. It is very important to identify these warning symptoms so that we can do early diagnosis. To improve the outcomes of childhood cancer, it is very important to diagnose early and refer to a pediatric oncology unit early and start on appropriate treatment. Childhood cancers have excellent cure rates if the above 3 are followed with more than 90% survival in most of the childhood cancers. Thank you.
