Context: Types of treatment for kidney cancer in children
There are different types of treatment for children and adolescents with kidney cancer. You and your child’s cancer team will work together to decide treatment. Treatment will depend on factors such as your child’s overall health and whether the cancer is newly diagnosed or has come back.
Your child’s treatment plan will include information about the cancer, the goals for treatment, treatment options, and the possible side effects. It will be helpful to talk with your child’s cancer care team before treatment begins about what to expect.
