What are the treatment options for pediatric patients with TP53 mutations?
Treatment for children with TP53 mutations largely depends on the type and stage of cancer they develop. However, having a TP53 mutation can influence treatment decisions. For instance, these patients may require more aggressive surveillance and early intervention. Targeted therapies and precision medicine approaches are being explored to specifically address the unique challenges posed by TP53 mutations. Options such as immunotherapy and novel drug trials are also being considered for these high-risk patients.
