Pediatric Hematology pertains to the pediatric specialty that addresses disorders affecting blood production and clotting specifically in children. In their early years, children are susceptible to blood production defects stemming from factors such as nutritional deficiencies, which can lead to conditions like megaloblastic anemia, iron deficiency anemia.
On the other hand, Pediatric Oncology represents a specialized domain of expertise dedicated to treating and curing children afflicted with conditions such as acute leukemia, neuroblastoma, lymph node cancer and brain tumors, ultimately enhancing their quality of life. The precise cause of childhood malignancies remains largely unknown, but it is noteworthy that a significant proportion of these tumors and cancers are amenable to treatment.
