Brain tumours are the second most common form of cancer among children, but they are still rather rare. Our hospital treats less than 10 paediatric patients with a brain tumour yearly.
Service
The most common tumours among children are different forms of haematological tumours, e.g., leukaemia. Of the tissue tumours, the most common ones are tumours of the brain, kidney, adrenal glands and extremities.
Schedule, view, transfer or cancel appointments in the Tyks appointment service. Please note that the appointment service is only available for some receptions.
Physiotherapists work at the Lighthouse hospital in the wards and outpatient clinics of the Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, the Ear-, nose- and throat diseases ward and the gynaecology wards.
Unit
We carry out the psychiatric treatment of children under 13.
The operations of the Centre of Excellence in Infections and Microbes includes, for example, laboratory and high security laboratory operations, contingency planning and scientific research.
We provide therapy to patients above 13 years of age; there is no upper age limit. Eating disorders are conditions of a disturbed relationship to food, body weight and body image to such an extent that this poses a threat to the patient's health or function.
We treat paediatric diseases in our region while taking the whole family into consideration.
