He stressed the importance of having separate infrastructure and trained personnel in hospitals dedicated to treat paediatric cancer. Speaking at a meet organised at the hospital for children who are paediatric cancer survivors and their parents on Sunday, he said that doctors had a crucial role in diagnosing paediatric cancer without creating panic for parents. Pointing out that the hospital had a Paediatric Cancer Centre since 2010, he said more than 800 children had been successfully treated for cancer so far. A major portion of the treatment cost was supported through Camila Children Cancer Fund created by the hospital. Early diagnosis and right kind of treatment played a huge role in successfully treating cases of paediatric cancer, said T. Kasi Viswanathan, Head of Heamatology, Haemato-Oncology and Haematolopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation wing of Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre.
