The coverage highlights that on World Cancer Day 2026, Dr. Gauri Kapoor, Medical Director, RGCIRC, Niti Bagh and Director of Pediatric Hematology & Oncology at RGCIRC, emphasised that several childhood cancers are either preventable or highly treatable when identified at an early stage and managed appropriately. She outlined how children can develop conditions such as leukemia, brain and spinal tumours, among others, and advised parents to remain vigilant for warning signs including persistent fatigue, recurrent unexplained fever, unusual swelling or lumps, sudden weight loss, and noticeable behavioural or appetite changes. She underscored that timely medical consultation greatly improves treatment outcomes, while also stressing the role of healthy lifestyle practices and informed parental awareness in reducing risk and ensuring early diagnosis and appropriate care.
