In a year in Armenia is found 50 to 100 cases of children's cancer
and only 60-65 percent of the sick is getting cured, informed on the
meeting with journalists Chairman of the Oncologists Association,
director of pediatric oncology and chemotherapeutic department Grigor
Badalyan today.
The speaker also noted that in the oncology and chemotherapeutic
children's department about 250 children are treated, and added that
the same child enters the department for several times.
Speaking about the causes of the disease G. Badalyan noticed that it
may be congenital. According to the doctor, the disease most often
is being noticed with the children who are 2-4 and 10-12 years old;
these are congenital tumors.
The speaker also stressed that the treatment of tumors in Armenia is
being realized on the sidelines of state order, which makes around
170,000 AMD, which, according to Badalyan, is enough in some cases.
However the treatment of tumors is rather costly, the medicine is
especially expensive and very often the purchase of the medicine
falls on the shoulders of the parents, the doctor stated.
