This is a complex ?: From a medical pov, we use all the diagnostic, therapeutic and supportive care tools of modern medicine at our disposal to serve our patients and families. But pediatric cancer care extends far beyond medicine to include emotional, developmental, educational, financial and psychosocial domains. We care for the whole family, and the privilege requires the combined efforts of skilled professionals.
