Diseases in Pediatric Hemato/Oncology Area and Treatments
摘要
Oncologic pharmacy includes the sections of hematology, rheumatology, stem cell transplantation, as well as all the chemotherapy and nonchemotherapeutic drugs that are handled in the institution to treat oncological and hematological diseases, but it does not include radiopharmacy, which is a segregated sector. Therefore, radiotherapy is not discussed in this section. The treatments that are important for pediatric oncology pharmacists are mostly those involving drugs. The standard treatment for pediatric cancer can include chemotherapy and other drugs—such as monoclonal antibodies and target therapy, stem cell transplantation, which also includes chemotherapy and other drugs, radiotherapy, surgery, and new approaches involving the immunity of the patient—such as first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy.
