Pediatric oncology patients require regular outpatient department (OPD) visits to ensure comprehensive and ongoing care for their unique medical needs. These visits allow for the monitoring and assessment of the patient’s response to treatment (e.g chemotherapy or radiation) which can have significant side effects. Regular OPD visits enable the doctor to assess patients’ physical well-being, monitor any adverse reactions, and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
Outpatient visits also provide an opportunity for both the child and their family to receive supportive care and counseling.
