Caring for children with cancer Updated: Updated: Focus is always on creating a cheerful hospital ambience for young patients, say doctors Share Article Focus is always on creating a cheerful hospital ambience for young patients, say doctors Being diagnosed with cancer is a shock that most adults fail to immediately come to terms with. So, how does one explain it to a child detected with the deadly disease? On International Childhood Cancer Day, observed on February 15, oncologists and counsellors shared how they break the news to children and other aspects. The news is conveyed to children only if they are aged above 12 years, based on their understanding capabilities and parents’ consent, said doctors from MNJ Institute of Oncology Regional Cancer Centre, Red Hills. Oncologists at other hospitals also said young children are generally spared the tragic news. In any case, however, doctors and counsellors explain the situation first to the parents.
