Resumen
La oncología oral pediátrica representa un campo complejo y desafiante dentro de la odontología y la oncología pediátricas. Esta breve revisión tiene como objetivo examinar la comprensión actual, los enfoques diagnósticos y las modalidades de tratamiento para las neoplasias malignas orales y maxilofaciales en la población pediátrica. Se hace especial hincapié en la detección precoz, las estrategias de tratamiento multidisciplinario y el tratamiento de las complicaciones relacionadas con el tratamiento. También se discuten los avances recientes en terapias dirigidas y su impacto en las tasas de supervivencia.
