Abstract
Personalized care in pediatric oncology is essential for improving patient outcomes and enhancing the quality of care. Individualized care plans (ICPS) play a critical role in addressing the unique medical, psychological, and developmental needs of children with cancer. These plans incorporate a comprehensive understanding of the child’s diagnosis, treatment preferences, family dynamics, and psychosocial factors, facilitating a holistic approach to care. By focusing on individualized treatment protocols, multidisciplinary collaboration, and family-centered interventions, ICPS contribute to more tailored therapies, reducing treatment-related complications and improving overall survival rates. Furthermore, ICPS enhance patient and family engagement, fostering better communication between healthcare providers and families. This paper explores the significance of ICPS in pediatric oncology, examining their impact on treatment efficacy, patient satisfaction, and long-term outcomes, while also identifying challenges and future directions in their implementation.
