Recent advancements in genetic research have revolutionized the treatment landscape for
pediatric oncology, specifically through targeted therapies and precision medicine. These
innovations hold significant promise in improving the prognosis for pediatric cancer patients,
many of whom face historically poor survival rates with traditional chemotherapy and
radiation. This paper explores the role of genetic advances in pediatric oncology, focusing on
the development of targeted therapies and precision medicine strategies that tailor treatment
regimens to the unique genetic profiles of individual patients. By examining the molecular
mechanisms of pediatric cancers, current clinical applications, and ongoing research, this
paper highlights how genetic insights are transforming the future of pediatric cancer
treatment.
