Pediatric oncologist
Pediatric oncologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis, treatment and recovery of children suffering from cancer-related diseases. Cancer affects people of all ages – a pediatric oncologist treats patients aged 0-18. The word “cancer” often evokes the most alarming associations, especially when it comes to a child. Despite the fact that previously an oncological diagnosis was considered almost hopeless, today there are effective ways to combat this formidable disease. At the Federal State Budgetary Institution of the “National Medical Research Radiological Centre” of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation you will receive high-quality medical services for the treatment of children. An appointment with a specialist can be made by calling 8 (800) 250-87-00.
How to determine the need to consult a pediatric oncologist?
Speaking about children’s cancer, it should be noted that the symptoms of this disease can manifest themselves in both rather mild and severe conditions. There are several signs by which one can suspect the presence of a problem, but an accurate diagnosis is always made by a pediatric oncologist, based on research results.
What you should pay attention to:
- lack of appetite and weight loss;
- general weakness;
- labored breathing;
- enlarged lymph nodes;
- body asymmetry;
- elevated temperature without obvious accompanying symptoms;
- convulsive symptom;
- occurrence of atypical formations.
Immediate contact with a pediatric oncologist is necessary if a child experiences such manifestations as:
- causeless attacks of acute headache accompanied by vomiting;
- recurring bleeding;
- intense bone pain requiring analgesics;
- rapid decrease in visual acuity.
If your child has symptoms that may be related to cancer, contact a pediatric oncologist as soon as possible. A pediatric oncologist will conduct a consultation and prescribe the tests necessary to make the correct diagnosis. Early detection and timely treatment are the key to success in the fight against this disease. Show concern for the health of your children and do not be afraid to seek help from a doctor. Make an appointment by calling 8 (800) 250-87-00 or using the feedback form.
How does a consultation with a pediatric oncologist go?
Specialists from the National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation provide qualified medical care. During the consultation, the pediatric oncologist conducts an examination, collects anamnesis and studies available documents that give an idea of the child’s current state of health. To determine treatment tactics, additional studies and consultations with other specialized specialists of the Center may be prescribed.
Additional diagnostic methods prescribed by a pediatric oncologist:
- consultation with a highly specialized doctor;
- advanced blood and urine analysis;
- ultrasonography;
- X-ray examination;
- MRI and CT;
- endoscopic examination;
- biopsy.
The pediatric oncologist determines the list of necessary additional examinations based on the consultation.
After assessing results of the examination, the pediatric oncologist develops a patient management plan, determines the methodology and scope of upcoming treatment measures. When you ask our Center for help, you can be sure that a professional team will accompany your child at all stages – from preparation to rehabilitation. During the treatment process, the patient’s condition is monitored and prescriptions are adjusted if necessary. Before discharge, the doctor will tell you about the schedule of follow-up examinations, the use of maintenance drug therapy and preventive measures. First of all, we are talking about regular follow-up with careful screening and tracking of key indicators for early diagnosis of possible relapses and metastatic process. Also, preventive measures require compliance with the recommendations of the pediatric oncologist regarding diet, acceptable physical activity, maintenance drug therapy and the schedule of follow-up examinations. Remember that regular medical examinations and early diagnosis greatly increase the chances of a complete cure.

At National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, a pediatric oncologist provides consultations on the treatment of thyroid cancer in children. Sometimes children develop a malignant neoplasm in this location, which requires the immediate intervention of a doctor specializing in pediatric oncology. During the consultation, the pediatric oncologist will answer your questions in detail and determine further actions. One of the most significant aspects in providing medical services to children (especially during surgical treatment) is the use of techniques to remove the tumor, while avoiding cosmetic defects (scars). This is an extremely important aspect for further socialization, especially in childhood and adolescence. Scars can have a significant impact on a child’s self-esteem, negatively affecting their emotional well-being, causing feelings of shame, anxiety, inadequacy and increased attention from peers. Modern oncology has achieved significant results in this area – unique operating techniques allow the surgeon to fully perform his tasks, while completely maintaining aesthetics and reducing the rehabilitation period to a minimum. If there are no postoperative complications, the patient is discharged home 2-3 days after surgery. Highly qualified doctors of our Center successfully use all these advanced technologies in daily surgical practice, including for the treatment of children. The diagnostic and treatment departments of the Center are equipped with equipment that allows us to provide our patients with comprehensive treatment of oncological diseases. You can make an appointment with a specialist by calling 8 (800) 250-87-00.
