Pediatric cancer is a challenging condition that requires a multidisciplinary approach. Oncosurgery is crucial in the management of solid tumors, such as neuroblastoma, Wilms tumor, lymphomas, adrenal tumors, hepatic tumors and other GI and genitourinary malignancies amongst others among others. Surgical intervention aims to obtain tissue for accurate diagnosis, assess its extent and remove the primary tumor. In some cases, it may also involve the removal of affected lymph nodes or metastatic lesions.

Wilms Tumor

Wilms tumor, also known as nephroblastoma, is a kidney cancer that primarily affects children. It is the most common renal malignancy in children, typically diagnosed before the age of 5. Surgical resection is a crucial component of the multidisciplinary approach to managing Wilms tumor.The primary goal is to remove the tumor while preserving as much healthy kidney tissue as possible. Partial nephrectomy or total nephrectomy may be performed based on the extent and location of the tumor. In some cases, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be used in conjunction with surgery to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.

Neuroblastoma

Neuroblastoma is a cancer that arises from immature nerve cells, usually occurring in the adrenal glands or sympathetic ganglia. It is the most common extracranial solid tumor in infants and accounts for a significant portion of pediatric oncology cases. Surgical intervention plays a critical role in the management of neuroblastoma. The surgical approach depends on several factors, including tumor size, location, and spread. In some instances, a multidisciplinary approach with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy may be employed to achieve the best possible outcome.

Recent advancements in surgical techniques, imaging, targeted therapies, and multidisciplinary collaboration have transformed the landscape of pediatric oncosurgery, leading to improved outcomes and quality of life for young patients.
