At this time, there is no cure for pediatric non-small cell lung cancer. Treatment options may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery. Medications used to treat pediatric non-small cell lung cancer may include targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and chemotherapy drugs.

1. Exposure to secondhand smoke
2. Exposure to environmental toxins
3. Genetic predisposition
4. Family history of lung cancer
5. History of radiation therapy
6. Chronic lung diseases
7. Low birth weight
8. Low socioeconomic status
9. Exposure to air pollution
10. Exposure to asbestos

1. Surgery: Surgery is the most common treatment for pediatric non-small cell lung cancer. Depending on the size and location of the tumor, the surgeon may remove the entire lung (pneumonectomy) or just the affected lobe (lobectomy).

2. Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells. It is often used in combination with surgery to treat pediatric non-small cell lung cancer.

3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to kill cancer cells. It is often used in combination with surgery and/or radiation therapy to treat pediatric non-small cell lung cancer.

4. Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapy is the use of drugs that target specific molecules involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. It is often used in combination with other treatments to treat

The exact cause of pediatric non-small cell lung cancer is unknown. However, some risk factors have been identified, including:

• Exposure to secondhand smoke

• Exposure to certain chemicals, such as asbestos

• Exposure to radiation

• Genetic predisposition

• Family history of lung cancer

• Certain medical conditions, such as cystic fibrosis

• Certain genetic mutations, such as EGFR mutations

Common symptoms of pediatric non-small cell lung cancer include:

- Persistent cough
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Wheezing
- Coughing up blood
- Unexplained weight loss
- Fatigue
- Fever
- Swelling of the face, neck, or arms
- Recurrent respiratory infections

Pediatric non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a type of cancer that affects the lungs of children and adolescents. It is a rare form of cancer, accounting for less than 1% of all pediatric cancers. NSCLC is typically more aggressive than adult NSCLC and is often diagnosed at a later stage. Treatment options for pediatric NSCLC include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy.
