Childhood Cancer Awareness | Dr Kriti Hegde

Описание: Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is a reminder of the importance of timely diagnosis, expert medical care, and community support in helping children overcome cancer. While the word “cancer” often creates fear, the truth is that childhood cancers are highly curable when managed by trained specialists. Nearly 80% of children with cancer can be completely cured with appropriate treatment.

In this video, Dr. Kriti Hegde, Consultant – Paediatric Oncology, Haemato-Oncology & Bone Marrow Transplant at SRCC Children’s Hospital, managed by Narayana Health, Haji Ali, Mumbai, shares a powerful message during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

She emphasizes that:

Cancer in children is curable with the right treatment and care

Early awareness and timely medical consultation are critical for successful outcomes

Parents should stay informed about warning signs and consult specialists without delay

Childhood cancers can sometimes mimic viral illnesses, making vigilance essential for doctors and healthcare providers

Community support is equally important in spreading awareness, breaking myths, reducing stigma, and offering emotional as well as financial support to affected families
