Dr Mohammed Rela, Renowned Liver transplant surgeon and Dr Priya Ramachandran, Pediatric surgeon and Founder of Ray of Light Foundation, during the NDTV-Fortis Cancerthon highlighted the need to treat childhood cancer separately from adult cancer. They said that chances of cancer survival among children is higher than among adults. Infertility is a huge issue as a fallout of chemotherapy among adults but that is not the case with children who survive cancer. Even Liver cancer which is rare is said to be a success story when it comes to curing it among children.
