Pediatrics: Hematological and Oncological System

Pediatrics · Clinical Specialties

How it begins

La hematología y oncología pediátricas poseen una identidad clínica propia, radicalmente distinta de la del adulto: valores de referencia variables con la edad, biología tumoral diferente, capacidad de curación extraordinariamente mayor y consecuencias a largo plazo del tratamiento que se extienden décadas. Comprender estas particularidades es imperativo para el manejo óptimo del paciente en edad pediátrica.
