Childhood cancer requires specialized care, early diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary treatment approach to ensure the best possible outcomes. Dr. Purvi Kadakia Kutty, an experienced Pediatric Oncologist in Navi Mumbai, provides advanced and comprehensive cancer treatment for children, focusing on both medical excellence and emotional support.
Childhood cancers are different from adult cancers and often require unique treatment protocols. The most common types include leukemia (blood cancer), lymphoma, brain tumors, and solid tumors affecting different parts of the body. Early detection is crucial, and symptoms such as unexplained fever, weight loss, fatigue, or unusual swelling should not be ignored.
At our center, we offer state-of-the-art cancer treatments using the latest medical advancements. These include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and supportive care. Each treatment plan is carefully designed based on the child’s condition, age, and overall health, ensuring a personalized and effective approach.
Dr. Kutty has extensive experience working at renowned institutions like Tata Memorial Hospital and has participated in national and international clinical trials. This exposure allows her to implement globally accepted treatment protocols, ensuring high-quality care and improved survival rates.
We believe in a holistic approach to cancer care. Along with medical treatment, we provide nutritional guidance, psychological support, and long-term survivorship care. This ensures that children not only recover but also lead a healthy and fulfilling life after treatment.
Family involvement is a key part of our care model. We guide parents at every step, helping them understand the treatment process and make informed decisions. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where both the child and family feel confident and cared for.
If your child has been diagnosed with cancer or shows early warning signs, timely consultation can make a life-saving difference.
Childhood cancer refers to a group of diseases in which abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in children and adolescents. Unlike adult cancers, childhood cancers are usually not linked to lifestyle factors and often develop due to genetic or biological changes in the body.
The most common types of childhood cancers include leukemia (blood cancer), brain and spinal cord tumors, lymphomas, and certain solid tumors such as neuroblastoma and Wilms tumor. These conditions require specialized diagnosis and treatment approaches tailored specifically for children.
With advancements in pediatric oncology, survival rates have significantly improved. Early diagnosis, timely treatment, and access to expert care play a crucial role in achieving successful outcomes and long-term recovery.

At our center in Navi Mumbai, Dr. Purvi Kadakia Kutty, a highly experienced Pediatric Hematologist-Oncologist, provides evidence-based, globally aligned treatment protocols. With over 10 years of experience and training at premier institutes like Tata Memorial Hospital, she ensures that children receive advanced and compassionate care tailored to their condition.
The exact cause of most childhood cancers is not fully understood. However, certain risk factors and biological mechanisms have been identified.
Some children are born with inherited genetic mutations that increase cancer risk. Conditions like Down syndrome or certain inherited syndromes can predispose a child to leukemia or other cancers.
Most childhood cancers occur due to spontaneous DNA changes in growing cells. These mutations are not caused by lifestyle or environmental habits, unlike many adult cancers.
Exposure to high levels of radiation or certain chemicals may increase risk, though this is uncommon in children.
Children with weakened immune systems or those undergoing immunosuppressive treatments may have a higher risk of developing cancers like lymphoma.
Understanding these causes helps in early detection and risk-based monitoring, which is essential for improving outcomes.
Advancements in pediatric oncology have dramatically improved survival rates, with many cancers now having cure rates exceeding 80% when diagnosed early.
Recognizing warning signs such as persistent fever, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, swelling, or frequent infections can lead to earlier intervention and better prognosis.
Effective treatment often involves a combination of:
Dr. Kutty specializes in pediatric bone marrow transplants for both benign and malignant conditions, offering advanced treatment options under one roof.
Each child’s treatment is customized based on age, cancer type, stage, and overall health. This precision-based approach improves effectiveness while minimizing side effects.
Nutritional support, psychological counseling, and family education are critical components of treatment. These improve treatment tolerance and overall quality of life.
Post-treatment monitoring ensures early detection of recurrence and management of long-term side effects. Dr. Kutty leads survivorship programs focusing on long-term health and well-being.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized childhood cancer as a global health priority and launched initiatives to improve survival rates worldwide.
WHO aims to achieve at least a 60% survival rate for children with cancer globally by improving access to diagnosis, treatment, and care.
WHO emphasizes closing the gap between high-income and low- and middle-income countries, where survival rates are often lower due to lack of access to specialized care.
Clinics like ours align with these global standards by following evidence-based protocols and participating in national and international clinical programs.
